My new toy

Two weeks ago on a Monday Father Christmas brought me a rather belated pressie. It arrived in 3 large boxes…

…which ended up in the “large quilting studio” in our cellar. The following Saturday the boxes got unpacked and assembled.

Instructions
huh???

They came with instructions on a video, but this being a high tech household we no longer possess such an item. So we had to make do with a scaled down version on paper.

Contrary to the marketing blurb – one person in 2 – 4 hours, it took two of us rather longer, but we got there in the end. It being a quilting frame and sewing machine.

Almost finished

We just had a large piece of muslin and rather a lot of velcro left over and no idea what to do with them. After joining a couple of yahoo groups and being reminded that quilters are a friendly and helpful bunch of people, I was pointed in the right direction and now know what to do with the left-overs.

Too busy dyeing right now, but I hope to get a quilt top finished and ready for quilting. Then I shall make the leaders (the muslin) and give my new toy it’s maiden voyage.
Will report back later.
