A Finish.

Oh My Goodness! It was so good to be patching away and creating.

I loved it, even all those triangles!

This is the largest quilt top I have ever created. 

The batting on my frame will just about peep out either side of it!

It's so huge I had nowhere at home where I could capture the whole thing.

I had to take it to work and spread it on the floor before opening, and catch a photo from the mezzanine. Then put it away quickly before opening.

I used these patterns for the square pennants

But the triangular ones I made up myself. Only one was consigned to the scrap bin and remade!

It was the very first and it needed to be bigger!

I tried it out on my bed and it fits rather nicely.

I still need to get on and quilt it, but I promised a friend she could pop a quilt onto the frame this week, so I can wait.

Meanwhile I have other things I could get on with.

Including making a label for this one. But to do that I need to come up with a name for it.

I'm tempted to call it ............

'Somfing Boaty'

Which is what Joe asked for! LOL

Or do I go a little more serious?

Any suggestions?

Right toward the end of the last seam my poor silver sewing machine had issues again.

I had to stop and start several times to overcome them.

She is currently in bits on his office floor. 😞

The bobbin holder keeps catching the thread, which then pulls said holder out of position!

Tony took it to see the local sewing machine service man who gave him a few hints to help overcome that for a while, but he said we would need to find a new bobbin holder and install it.

He said he had not seen a silver machine before and didn't stock parts for it. None of the parts he does have would fit. 

Hopefully the temporary fix will work until a new one is found.
