This last few weeks has been crazy, but we have made it thru. I hate to admit it but I live my life thru lists, and calendars. I carry a calendar in my purse, on my phone, on my sewing table, and kitchen wall. With hubby’s Dr appointments, granddaughter sitting, her school days, and what I need to get done I have to have them. So far this week no Dr. and little else so I made my weekly to do list this morning and have put a bit of sewing time into each day. This weekend I started quilting this quilt and am loving the look so far.

For some reason I get at least one pucker on the back side I decided to spray baste, and pin it. Normally I would pin closer but thought with the spray I wouldn’t need to. Well I got my usual pucker. I ripped out what I did and re did it. No pucker. How do you keep from getting those nasty puckers in your quilts? I quilt on my sewing machine so there is something I am doing wrong and would love to find out what it is. Last night I was able to finish about 1/2 of it and so by this weekend I hope to get it finished.
Today I am making Peanut Brittle for the upcoming craft fair and if I can work it right tomorrow I will be able to work in the yard for a while. Today in the 30’s and tomorrow in the 60’s Spring is almost here. Not doing a lot outside till after Easter in case we get more cold weather. March has arrived mild so it may leave vicious.

We have temps that go up and down like that, then rain and dry for the longest time. At the moment here in Phoenix Arizona we have warm Spring temps. Love your quilts, they always look so pretty.

Pretty quilting. I quilt on my sewing machine, too, and I just spray baste. I occasionally get a tuck on the back, but not usually. I use 505 and after the quilt sandwich is all together, I make sure everything is smooth, then I press the front and back.

The pressing is where I have been messed up. Thank you

I press about a 36” square section, front and back, quilt it, then press another section, etc. your quilting looks great!
