STUFFING AND A FLUFFING!!

In a perfect situation, I would have a long arm to do a quilt 92" x 83" or send it out to be quilted but......

In order not to hear this from my husband....

"Why do I buy you all these machines if you have to send your quilt out to be quilted?"

and...for the mere fact that I am Cheap as the day is long......cheap cheap cheap (that ain't no chicken churping).

So.....this is my set up.

I begins to stuff and fluff..... don't want any kind of drag....this will pull the quilt down and make it hard to quilt.....so I kept on a stuffing and a fluffing!

Yep....you guessed it....more stuffing and a fluffing. I have to tell myself to relax, if you relax while trying to machine quilt things go a lot easier. Just go with the flow....that is what I was telling my self.
I am flowing along....I tell myself that yes, I can finish this because the minute I turn the machine off and fold this quilt up, it will never get done.

So today I was the "Little Engine that Could"......I made myself....was getting grumpier as I had to keep stuffing and a fluffing and sometimes a frogging...yep.....there was a frog in my room keeping time with the chicken....

Now that we are talking about chickens....I so wanted to feather the border, I certainly had a big enough border but.......I have a confession....I was toooo chicken....

As I am taking a picture of this finished quilt (no binding yet), I notice that in between the trees is not quilted.....WHAT!!!!!!!
So...back to stuffing and a fluffing....and after the grumpiness wears down, we will bind this puppy and call it a day.

First I hear some chocolate calling my name......
