QUILTING PUZZLE BOX

 I downloaded a quilting pattern called 'Puzzle' this morning and made a label for the Puzzle Box quilt.  I went upstairs and inked the label.  Then I loaded the backing for it and loaded up the Puzzle Box quilt.  I'm quilting it with the new pattern which resembles  jigsaw puzzle pieces.  It's quilting very slowly however.

So, while Erik was slowly quilting away, I made the bias binding and sewed it onto the back of XXIII.

I got two passes done before it was time to go in.

After I sewed the binding onto the back, I folded the corners and clamped them down.  They'll be more willing to comply tomorrow when I sew the binding to the front.

XXIII QUILTED

 I finished the quilting on the XXIII quilt today.  It has a mixture of computer programed patterns, free-motion and a lot of ruler work.

SUNDAY

I've been quilting on XXIII using the computer-control, experimenting with placing patterns.   I'm putting overall-texture programs in oddly shaped areas.  It's been great fun.

Darrell made several programs for me consisting of concentric arcs for the quarter-circles.  Some of those have worked, some not.  But, this last one has worked beautifully.  Now, it's up to me to learn how to use it.

I'm almost done with the quilting, just a little more than one row left.

I've also, finally, gotten around to watching the videos from Cheryl Arkison of her Playcation Adventure 2022.  She put up live videos weekly during 2022 making improv blocks.  I wish I had done it with her then.  But, better late than never.  I've only done three, but it's been so much fun!  Here's the third one I made today:

 

BACKING FOR XXIII

 I finally finished the backing and label for XXIII.

I did some more quilting on Devolve, too.
