(Thank goodness for my Bernina 820 &#8211; you&#8217;ve heard me say it before, but FMQ with this machine is a dream, truly a dream). I&#8217;m in meditation mode, the hours are whizzing by in a flash and with a little bit of luck and no interruptions I&#8217;ll be putting the binding on tonight. (I probably shouldn&#8217;t have said that&#8230;.kiss of death and all that!)<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/22.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4735\" title=\"2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/22.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/22.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/22-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve machine quilted a lot of quilts in my time, but none with quite as much quilting as this.

Sorry for the rather dark photos, but as you can imagine there is almost no natural light at all today. Hopefully before the quilt goes off to England I&#8217;ll have a chance to make some decent photos when the sun is shining!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry for being missing in action recently&#8230;..but I have a good excuse!
