love the quilt and the story.
So glad to hear you are doing so well!
I know what those check-ups are like!
Quilting is so relaxing, it helps so many of us cope.

Your quilt is beautiful! I love that fabric and the story behind it! My mom is a 30 year breast cancer survivor. Good for you on your year may you have many more ahead!!

Pfaff2140 Embroidery machine upgraded to 2170. I bought it used from my beloved Tucson dealer last year. This quilt is its first BIG workout in embroidery. I've learned a LOT about hooping while doing it. LOL

Klue, I'm using 2 threads, because I ran out of the first :cry: 1- Premium Sulky 30wt blendable color=733,orange Matte Finish. 2-Signature Pi?ell?s (?=where the hole is at the edge of the spindle LOL) size 30 Polyester, color= Sunrise - variegated, Art. 988. They look almost identical on this quilt, but the Sulky is 'softer' - slightly more pastel, and the Superior has a brighter orange. I decided to 'use up' what I have on hand, because it wouldn't affect the look of this fabric.
When I finally post pictures of the back, you'll see that I changed my mind about the BOBBIN color about half-way through - from off white to match the muslin backing, to peach to show up and match the color theme of the front.
