The Eagle has Finally Landed!

After more than ten (10) days of Fall Cleaning/organizing and mods on the Boop Studio, finally got a path cleared back to the quilting frame to finish quilting eagles on this Eagle Quilt of Valor Doris & I created ;-)

Doris created the 9-patch interior and I got to add complimentary borders to bring it up to required QOV size, and it turned out fairly well, we think!

Here are a few close-ups of the actual 'eagle' quilting:

This patriotic quilt was quilted with Honey Gold Premo-Soft from the Essentials Thread kit by Kimmie Brunner - one of my favorite 'Gold' threads to quilt with, that creates a wonderful gold accent that compliments any quilt without being intrusive.  Premo-Soft also has a wonderful 'soft' hand, as the name reflects.  If you haven't tried this exceptional thread yet, why not give it a try on one of your next quilts?

For now...time to bind!

More than a few quilts ALL ready for binding...
Gotten a tad bit behind on my binding w/Fall cleaning & organizing...will need to start catching up soon...

Boop Studio getting Updated & Organized for Fall

Fall organization and studio updates have been ongoing for the better part of September and now October, and continue!  Original conclusion target date was October 1, 2017 but...delay after delay - we ALL know about those...right?

At least the shower curtain is FINALLY hung correctly, rather than just dangling precariously!




And the rest of the studio bath enjoyed a few updates and mods:






There's still a couple of storage cabinets left to assemble - in the meantime, plenty of fabric organization is underway:


...and plenty more to go!

Time to get back to it...

Later,
