Quilting Dilemma, NEQM and Tulips!

Last week seemed SO productive!

My Flower Garden had her borders on 
and she was all marked ready for quilting.


Had my new toy out -
Fabulous Fabric Glide by The Gypsy Quilter.

Ready ... Set ... Go Quilt!!!


After stitching in the ditch two long vertical lines and half of a third line,
a realization hit me...

SMACK

the batting was so thin my quilting would never show up...
(was wondering why the quilt was going thru the bed of my machine so easily!!)

Grumble ... Grumble ... Grumble

a few choice words were uttered -
Loudly!

what to do?

continue and hate it all later...

be miserable for a bit while frog stitching
Rip-It, Rip-It, Rip-It

use wool batting, have my quilting show
and love it later...

YUP - you guessed it...
I spent afternoon Frog Stitching!!
Thankfully I had a great audiobook all ready to go!

This week coming up I'll re-baste and start again!


On a bright note...

Emily bought tickets to
The Wicked Tulip Farm in Johnston RI

Rows and Rows of brightly colored tulips
My Gosh was it beautiful!!


 We may have pick just a few tulips!!


and they look so pretty in the dining room!


This week I had the privilege
of helping hang the Silk exhibition
at the New England Quilt Museum!

It's a Fabulous instillation~
a MUST See!
Here are just a few of the quilts I got to hang!!




These quilts were already up!




Sorry no quilt information as the info card were going up the next day,
you'll just have to go to the museum and see for yourself!!


                                 Have a great Quilty Day and enjoy the process!
