Another week has streaked past … with little gardening and no real quilting done!
Did at least manage some virtual quilting, and some sewing. I have made a fitted cover for the back of a new recliner … four times … and finally have it on the chair, not to be removed unless it needs washing. Only the seat and arms to be covered!
I like the loopy quilting design … light and airy compared to the seam lines of a Log Cabin.
Looks simple enough to do by machine, and certainly works for us hand quilters.
It even forms a loopy star in the centre!
That was a surprise for me.
There are still some issues when I twist and turn the design to fit the blocks, but that gives me a reason to keep playing with virtual quilting.
More Log Cabin designs next week, mid week, so we can have a tiny moment retreating from the realities of the world.

A fitted cover…probably not something that I would tackle. Ha, ha!

Laura,
Knowing what i know now I wouldn’t either, but having covered the back, the seat cover is coming together like a dream …. there there are the arms! I am not looking forward to those!
If I get it all to work, I will make another for my chair!

Gail,
Thank you … but I must admit that these are virtual designs, and 99% of them will never be made, at least by me. I play with Electric Quilt 7 like other people play computer games, and in an hour or so I can have dozens of new designs, and as I prefer hand quilting, and even some piecing and a lot of applique by hand too, I don’t make very many … I just share at least one design here every day.

Well, I love how you are being creative with your time (not wasting it with games!) Perhaps one day, I’ll make one of your quilts! In the meantime, I’m busy designing my own quilts!

Thank you … it is nice to be able to share my game without any winners or losers.
Words I love to hear are “I am designing my own quilts” … you are being creative yourself!

I like the quilting designs. Especially how it worked out on the first one.

Marie,
I will spend some time playing with the quilting design I have used here … it needs a few tweaks in places, but it is one which would be easy to do by machine, and very effective by hand as well.

Love these. The loopy center is fabulous. I think I may incorporate it into one of my log cabins if you don’t mind.

Cindy,
I would love you to include the centre in a real quilt … but it comes at a cost of a photo!
