Not a pleasant surprise

 I finished the surprise project and it will be shipped today to the recipient. Once they receive it I will post what it’s all about. Meanwhile I pulled the Halloween quilt off of the design wall to get it ready to quilt it. 


The surprise was that I had not torn off all of the stabilizer that I used when I stitched the pieces in place last year. I don’t enjoy doing that. It is so tedious. I’m almost done doing that now. This is the back of the top. My poor hand is sore from using tweezers to pull out the stabilizer bits. I also use packing tape to pull them out. Some will never come out and will be left in. Once it’s quilted no one will ever know.


Thanks for reading.
Chris

  1. So that's where you've been - on a secret mission! I've been working on a tryptic commission. Such a different way to work.
