Quantum Stops and Starts
There are a myriad of ways to stop and start when quilting. My preferred method is burying the thread. What usually happens is the thread snips end up on the floor around my feet. No big deal there's a mat for my office chair so I swoop them up and off to the bin they… Continue reading Quantum Stops and Starts
the back of Quantum Leap
Today I'm sharing the back of Quantum Leap. Here are 7 individual blocks from the back. The quilting really shows from the back right now with the high contrasting colors. I'll be excited to get to the border soon. Enjoy! Happy Quilting! Teri

Sometimes this is accompanied by a reflection on the previous years word, sometimes not. I can say with absolute certainty 2013 has… Continue reading Word of the year

“You’re a quilting nerd” she said
Quilters as mentioned here I found the screen to see the stitch count on my machine! I've often wondered, and there is no way to tell, how many stitches there are on my 1080's.
