This morning I made a few more log cabin blocks on my Horizon. I wanted to see how the new 1/4 inch foot worked going over multiple seams as it's been a major sore point with most owners. So far it sews beautifully which may put this machine back into my "like" list. I finished up a couple of rows and may start a new pink and a brown one depending on how I feel.
At night while watching TV and some WWII documentaries I've got this much done on my canvas work quilt:
The top border isn't hard, it just requires your eyes to cross frequently.
And finally, block one of "My Tweets" as I've worked on the satin stitching before I got too sick to work with it. I've decided to use threads that match the leaves instead of using just one color. I need to rip out the threads on the light leaves now.
BTW, don't accidently use cut-away embroidery stabilizer. You'll spend forever trimming it down with a seam ripper.
