This week I have been working on my Island Batik project for this months blog hop.
If you want the line up, just see the post below this one or go here: That way you can sign up for the giveway.
Notice the Aurfil thread? It matches but I decided to go with dark brown for the front....and I am worried I will not have enough. It takes a lot of thread to do a king size quilt....hummm should have thought of that.
This is my backing which is 108" fabric, got it from Marshalls but I had to extend it 10 inches on the top and sides. Try ironing it....
Took me a evening to iron and get it on the longarm.
Looks like I am crooked here....ignore that.
I have been working on this mostly at night. My mother has been taking a good portion of my days lately.
Next I want to show you the most fun thing I ordered.
Messy bobbing...usually there are threads everywhere!!!
Not any more with these Tulips Bobbin Clamps
Do I sound like a commercial (smiling) trust me, there is nothing in it for me but happiness.
I love them.....

What a cool bobbin holder!
I'm sure you have been busy, Barb. It's hard to be pulled in so many directions. Those little bobbins clamps are really nice.
Those bobbin thingys look interesting. I need to have a closer look......aka....buy a package! Thanks for sharing.
Such a tease! Can't wait to see this quilt upon completion! Loving those colorful bobbin holders! Beats the ziplock baggie I keep all mine in! Would make a great gift for a Quilty friend or two! Must keep them in mind! Thanks for sharing.
I have not seen those tulip bobbin clamps before....interesting!
I think you need to get Mr. Bejeweled to make you a larger ironing surface. I know it would help with ironing those big backings.
I got some of those as a Christmas Gift Exchange, love them! The bobbin holders that is.
Ironing big backs like that is hard work! Not my favorite, but I do feel so accomplished when I get it done. =)
Cool way to organize your bobbins!!
