Quilted up several T-shirt quilts, my fall Charm quilt and then had some fun Friday creating a little pillow for my niece. Her son's girlfriend had given her a little drawing that she posted on facebook that I turned into a pillow using her requested color of green. I thought that it looked like a continuous line design that I could stitch out. I just printed it and traced over it taped to my light box (window with sunlight streaming in LOL!) and traced with a water erase pen. They don't really work that well in that position but I got the basics down. I could have quilted that design directly with my laser light and maybe have done a better job... but I worried about the eye detail looking at the laser and not my stitching lines. As it turned out, I did not like a single line anyway and would stitch about a 1/4" and backtrack for several passes to build up some thread more like an embroidery machine might do. ...
