Samples and Set Up For Quilting
Now that the threads have been narrowed down through early comparisons, I still need to do a little more practice with my choices to be comfortable with the threads and to get all the settings on the sewing machine perfect.
The samples also allow me a little more practice for the designs I've chosen:
While I'm working on samples, I've also been working on getting everything ready to quilt. I'm using silk for both the top and back of the quilting, plus Hobb's Tuscany Silk batting as the batting. The outline for the design is traced onto the silk and then the divider lines are drawn in. This silk is light enough in color that I can see the artwork underneath easily enough to trace it.
Once pinned, it is ready to quilt.
Next: Quilting!
Parting Shot: Pretzels! My husband had a craving for large, soft pretzels, so he decided to make some. Here he is, working at shaping the pretzels. They're in the oven now, so we'll see how they turn out in a few minutes!

The sample looks great.
I bet those pretzels were
delicious :)
My husband does donuts like yours does pretzels. Men just find their little niche and perfect it, don't they?
Can he make gluten-free pretzels?
I'm excited to see this project unfold. Pink, green and gold are one of my favorite color combos.
A fine job he's doing with shaping those pretzels.
