Oh, I made this project so much more difficult than it should have been!
It’s far from perfect, but it’s done. Thankfully, I know my sweet Mother in Love is a woman full of grace.
This ended up half quilted on the long arm, and half on my Bernina. Can you tell which is which?
I’m very out of practice on the Bernina, but I didn’t have tension issues on it. Turns out my long arm tension issues were due to my ignorance in threading.
I have one other project I will be working on for her and I’ll share that soon.
In the last few years, Jeep owners have started “ducking” other Jeeps. It’s a way of saying, I love your ride! I’ve ducked other jeeps and Oscar has been ducked as well. But when I found out that AccuQuilt had a duck die, I decided to make my own!
I loaded up some yellow fabric to practice on with the new long arm. That was not by accident.
I used my practice bit to cut out quilted ducks.
I used an orange dot fabric with fusible on the back to make the wings and bills. There is an eye on the die, but I used a fabric marker to make the eyes instead.
Oh, I almost forgot! It’s Better than Black Friday at AccuQuilt !
