She will be here in an hour
The shower is this Sunday!
My first Minkee backing, I hand quilted what I wanted to show with just the front and the flannel center. Then I stitched in the ditch to attach the backing. I just used the needle on the machine. Didn't think about needing to change. I had practiced on a few pieces & knew what I wanted to do would work.
