Heureka! It's over!

Well some might know .. some don't ... I had my last exam today for the Bachelor - I'm done no more exams. Well that's it 3 1/2 years of lecture notes sorted and filed.

3 1/2 years of studying

Well to endings - and new beginnings (in case you should be one of the really really nice people who send me real letters, would you mind holding off until I can give you a new address? should know that until the end of the week)

Well I also have a quilty finish - not a complete quilt BUT my Easy Street top is finally done - any tips on how to quilt it?

  2. Hey Leo, many congratulations! You must feel rather light and free right now?! Your Easy Street quilt looks fantastic! I think it's the nicest one I've seen to come out of tht mystery! Quilting big quilts like that on a home machine is a real challenge. I generally go for straight stitching on the diagonal. That way you don't have to mark it. You just shoot/ sew from one corner of a patch across to the other corner of a patch and it creates a nice all over grid. If you use a flat batting and a walking foot you should not have to much problem with batting. Of course a nice top like that you might think about hand quilting...cheers, CW

  6. Congratulations Graduate! I know you are happy that's over.
    Your Easy Street looks great. I finished mine. Well the top. I need to piece the back. Can't decide if I'm going to quilt mine with diagonal straight lines or horizontal wavy lines. Will be one or the other. It's so big, I keep putting it off.

  12. Congratulations on finishing school! And I LOVE the colors you used for Easy Street! I just quilted mine using the same pantograph Bonnie Hunter used on hers--made it a no-brainer for me!
