Off to take the parrot to the vet for beak and nail trimming this morning and then serious shopping for my guests need to be done.
A while back I quilted a quilt for a little girl and mom
promised to make her son a quilt too and she kept her word. She used fabric with cars printed on it and
combined these with all the colours in the printed block.
With this being for a boy, we decided not to have anything
floral or girly as quilt motifs but the quilter trusted me to do my thing.
Way back, when I still quilted on my domestic machine, long
before words like ‘edge-to-edge’ or continuous line quilting’ had any meaning
to me, I needed an all-over motif that I could simply start at the top in the
centre, work my way down and repeat until I had the quilt done. I was so over meandering and wanted something
with a similar flow but a different look.
I played around with pen and paper and finally got an idea
and because I’ve never seen this anywhere else I credited myself by calling it
the Pringle-pointer. This stitches out
fast has no direction and is suitable for both men and women.
This was, therefore, the motif I decided to do on this little boy quilt and even though I loved it on my domestic machine, I’ve never used it with the long-arm. Now I am quite convinced this is my new favourite motif on the long-arm too.
