Jenny Janome is Home.

I picked her up from the store yesterday. Peter had given her a full service and says I must oil the top more frequently. He couldn't get her to make the awful noise I described, but adjusted the timing for me as it was a little off and the needle was also a little off, The needle threader works again!

Tony lifted her back on to the frame for me last night. I can do it, but not while there is a quilt loaded and of course I had left the churndash part way quilted and still loaded on to the bars.

Last night I set everything up ready to begin sewing this morning. 

And that is precisely what I did. I quilted nearly all day stopping only to peg out washing, eat lunch, make a salad for tea and bring the laundry in again. Oh and also to answer emails...

Chooky emailed me, a response to my comment following her request for distractions. So I continued the distraction by keeping her updated with progress.

By the time Tony got home and Debbie popped in to visit it was all done and spread out on the floor ready for a final trim.

And a closer look at the quilting.

You can see it more clearly here on the paper pattern.

The curves and loops do a great job of softening all the straight lines of the blocks.

I have the binding made and ready to go on. I was hoping to do that tomorrow, but Debbie arrived project in hand. A quick quilting job for me. She wants to take it to her niece next week. I've already made a start, it is a quarter done so should not take long to complete tomorrow. I promise to take lots of pictures it's a great wee eye spy quilt.
