We have enjoyed an amazing long autumn, this picture of course was taken a month or so again as the leaves have all fallen now.
We had snow yesterday, which made for a pretty walk late yesterday. I do love the crisper air for walks. The forecasted temperature today will quickly melt what was left behind yesterday.
Of course since my last post I have been busy in my studio working on customer quilts. I will share more about the last month or so in my next post.
This post I am sharing a quilt that its maker really wasn’t sure how she felt about it, it’s an early one of hers and like she said if she was doing it again she would have chosen some of the fabrics differently.
That said, it’s a perfect Autumn quilt!
Most of my customers leave the decision of quilting design to me and this quilt called for the design Leaf Pile! I love the density of stitching along with the various leaves adding more visual appeal to an already great quilt!
Her quilt was trimmed and ready for binding at pick up!
This next picture shows how it looked just before coming off the leaders. I am often asked why my quilts have a smoother finish front and back. I do not float quilt tops unless there is a reason that it’s necessary. That way I have more control over the tension of both top and backing while I am quilting.
It’s a personal preference for sure.
