If you have not heard me previously,
I LOVE GLIDE THREAD!!! Oh my goodness, this thread sews like a hot knife through butter. I have used other trilobal poly threads, and had issues with shredding or little pokies on the topside. Not with this thread. I love it so much, I ordered 5 cones last night. Fot those of you that like a good deal, 5000m of this thread costs only $7.20! A bargain on top of it being great thread. I foresee using this gold thread so much I got another cone. It's like all the bene's of a gold metallic, without the hassles.
I have spent 12 hours so far (I like to get up super early), and have SID'd the entire quilt, as well as worked on several sections. I am pleased with this very-showy floral vinework on the purple. I will backfill around the pattern with a blendable plum thread.
The feather through the greens looks nice, but I haven't decied if it is "fancy enough" for this quilt. It looks good, mind you, but it almost seems run of the mill. I am aiming for a little bit more outside the box .
I have done 3 of the 4 of these squares, and I like how they are turning out.
I spent a while this morning designing these triangles. There are 16 of them andthey need to have a good impact. After doing one, I stopped, thinking that this will get picked out. The poppy seems hard to disinguish. Got any better thoughts??
Oh, how I love to quilt my own quilts (and I seem to be being a better than usual customer too!)~

It is fun to have time for your own work - I look forward to seeing this one when it is finished. I also love Glide thread - it's my current favorite!
I don't have any ideas but I agree it gets lost in the fabric. LOVE the quilting you've done so far. Fabulous!!!!
Wonderful Margaret...Its great to see what you are doing.
Your quilting is fantastic!
I love your quilting and the confidence you show! Is the gold glide thread metallic, or does it just take on those properties? Have you found a silver your like? Keep on posting...it's so inpiring!
Oh, my stars - what beautiful quilting!!
