This past Saturday was my first Saturday open since December 31; the reality of being a basketball mom to three girls has kept me in the bleachers rather than in front of my machines.
However, with a little discipline and LOTS of motivation, I set out to finish up the quilting on Vitro di Mare.

... good ol' Murphy seemed to have other plans in mind! >:|
Thankfully, I was only sidelined for a few minutes. Seeing as I was changing out the broken needle, the time was given to perform a quick machine cleaning, removing some lint from under the bobbin and needle area, and then... I was back up-n-runnin'!

The moment a quilt is unwound from the frame is truly always a super amazing moment! I'm forever in love with this craft!
Being President's Day, we have a scheduled vacation day at school. Therefore, shortly, I'll be heading downstairs to see if I can finish up a customer quilt that has already been loaded on the frame: a 103" x 103" log cabin style. That one will keep me busy for a bit.
Happy Monday everyone!

I like it! And I totally understand - and with 3 and 3 different age groups the likelihood of any game being in the same gym is also very slim! Go mom!
Less than a month from top to quilted?! Not bad!! Looking forward to a beauty shot once it's bound.
I'm happy to see you are back at your machine! The colors in your quilt are just so pretty! Let us know your progress on the customer quilt!
Hurrah!
Looks great! A friend of mine just purchased a quilting system similar to yours and I have referred her to your blog so she can see how you do it. Thanks for all your blog posts explaining the process!!
Stunning! elaineadairpieces.blogspot.com
