I came in and loaded a quilt (it was downright cold in the basement after being outside!).
This was a kid's quilt/baby quilt I threw together some time ago -- just wanted to use up the border fabric which was given to me. I used the Popcorn pantograph by Jodi Beamish of Willowleaf Studios, which I just bought last week -- I like it's simplicity and lots of curves. After changing thread and getting this one ready to go, the tension was absolutely great -- moral to the story, go back to the beginning and go step by step -- it's a lot faster than spending hours trying to tighten/loosen the top/bobbin! I'll probably be sewing bindings tomorrow. This quilt will go to charity.
Gratitudes:
The sun and warm weather.
Bill planted radishes today.
Getting the tension right finally.

It got up to the lower 60's up here. I wiped the porch down... still too early to do any major spring cleaning, but it won't be long. Someone will love that quilt....
The quilt turned out so well, any child will love it! It made the 80s here today and I so wanted to open windows, but the pollen is bad and I didn't need to let that inside the house.
It's a little cool here in NJ to open the windows, but I'll have them open tomorrow! Love the quilt!
