Before and After Project #3 - Fall Quilt

On my recent trip to Vancouver I stopped at some scrapbook stores and some quilting stores and stocked up on some great items to be crafty come September. Maybe even earlier. I have also cleaned my scraproom/craftroom to make room for all my ingenious ideas and projects of which there are many. My friend Kelli inspired me to get some fabric and to start making stuff. I wonder who will be the recipient of my craftiness this year? So here is a photo of the beautiful materials purchased!

 I think I my love of quilting has finanlly re-emerged.  I was inspired by a small quilt shop that my oldest son and I found in Fort Langley and also the absolutely gorgeous fall colours found in the materials that I picked up. I am at the point where I have to actually quilt the project. I am trying to make my new sewing machine stipple the quilt. I have not been able to get the tension just right. I am still getting loops on the underside of the quilt. I have changed the tension various ways and still end up with the same result. I supposed I am in need of some  more testing. So here is a picture of the quilt so far. It is absolutely perfect! It looks even richer in real life! I can harldy wait to get the sewing machine working to my liking and finish this project!
