Grammie’s Time Out
The top of this Viking’s t- shirt quilt is complete, meaning this Grammie is calling a time-out. Lots of measuring, sewing, trimming and second guessing. Thanks to Dennis for helping with the cutting of the t-shirts and the border fabric. The measurement of the top is 85″ x 85″. With the benefit of this sewing machine having the assist on the pressure foot for keeping the fabrics moving, not having to lower and raise the pressure foot manually and not having to cut the threads manually, I can tell by my hands, arms and shoulders not being weary after working on this for three days. Each little feature on its own may not sound like a lot, but in the end, it is telling. It was a thrill to be able to iron seams and not have the project pull off of the ironing surface. Again . . . a win, win for the old body. The lights in the sewing studio are dimmed as I type. Tomorrow is another day for planning and scheming for the backing and batting process. Or . . . it may just mean a day off.
