It's all in the detail. (or how to go quietly mad.....)

I have been quilting this for over a week now with not a tremendous amount to show. Today and yesterday I have been doing the basket weave fabric. With the extra layer of trapunto underneath it looks amazing. I should get the last flower pot finished today.

 The weave is quite small.

It is extra difficult to freely move a quilt when someone decides to sleep on the side of it.

Eventually, after a few hours, I got him to move off and onto his temporary bed.


But then I needed to leave the studio for a few seconds.
By this time it was 7pm and I gave up for the night.

    LOL! Sally, it's difficult enough at times to quilt on a domestic machine, without "hangups" like yours. ;) But such a cute one he is!

    Those baskets are amazing. It would be interesting to know how you do the weaving part. Are you back tracking at the small vertical weaves? I so admire your work.

      Yes and the thread is so very fine it is difficult to see the backtracking. Not a lot to show for two days work.
