This weekend

Friday night I spent working on the feathered cable border of my Dear Jane My Way, and got it to the point where I could wash out the blue marker (Yeah!). So I did that and it was very wet, and I hung it up to dry. Until I can really wash it, it will not go into the dryer! And that won’t be until it is done. I was trying to get the blue out because I had one more corner that just wasn’t right and needed to be re-marked. I did finally remark it today, so the feathered cable is all done. Then today I echo quilted around the cable so I could stipple outside of the feathers. I have stippled the inner section about 2/3 of a side, and it is looking good J. Taking a break, stippling is hard work. I ran out of bobbin thread (in the bobbin, have several waiting to go in) and thought it was a good time to relax the shoulders a bit. The stippling is having the desired effect of emphasizing the feathers, thank goodness! As far as the rest of the quilt, all the pieced triangles are now quilted, along with 1/3 or so of the center blocks.

Saturday I went to Stitches West and got blown away by all of the yarn. I came home with more than I planned, not a big surprise there.
