Day 18/3

The third Sunday of the month is a busy day at church.  I am the litergist (making announcements, reading scripture, etc.), DH counts the collection plate, and we both clean up after coffee.  It's easier to remember if we do all our chores on the same Sunday!

The rest of the day I piddled a bit in the studio.  I advanced the Christmas quilt on the frame but didn't take a stitch in it.  

Even though I had adjusted both the thread and bobbin tensions, I am still pulling the bobbin thread up.  I decided it was not objectionable enough for me to worry about at this point.

I trimmed the baby quilt and made the binding.  I also prepped some pieces for a little stocking-stuffer project (more on that later).

The treat from the Advent tree was peppermint candies, something we both enjoy.

Only one week left!

  5. If the bobbin thread comes to the top a little, that's good. It'll sink back down after you take the quilt off, and it ensures that you don't have the tension too loose on the bottom. Jamie Wallen has a good YouTube video called Taking the Stress Out of Longarm Tension.

  7. Super cute Christmas quilt, Libby!! Some of that bobbin pop might relax into the middle of the quilt once it's off the frame.
