Quilted Dinosaurs

Today was spent trying to wrap up a lot of odds and ends – I finished quilting the last Nursery Rhyme baby quilt and quilted the first of the Rainbow Dinosaur baby quilts.  It was fairly quick to do up, so I think the remaining three could (possibly) get done up tomorrow.

Today also saw a massive thread order for only two kinds of thread in one color – unbleached white cotton.  Yeah, kinda boring, but it is the one I piece with and do a lot of my quilting with.  With all of the craft fairs coming up this fall, I need to replenish the Toddler Blanket inventory, Baby Blankets, and Nursing Covers.  Last time I  made them up, I used 5,000 yds of thread and didn’t make nearly enough.  Do you think 20,000 will do the job this time? 

 

Rainbow Dinosaurs

Today I finished 4 new quilt tops that I hope to quilt in the next few days.  They are all the same  – a Trip Around the World pattern done with batiks and a really splashy rainbow dino batik as the focal fabric.  I love the fabrics, but an ambivalent about how the finished quilt looks.  While it is not my favorite, I suspect once I get it quilted it will grow on me more.  With the right thread, I think it could be a lot of fun!  Maybe King Tut’s – Coat of Many Colors by Superior Threads?  I quilt all of my quilts with their threads and cannot say enough about them.  Absolutely a pleasure to work with and great customer service.  Check them out at http://www.superiorthreads.com.
