love the quilt and the story.
So glad to hear you are doing so well!

Quilting is so relaxing, it helps so many of us cope.

Very nice. Thanx for posting the photo with the quilt in the machine. It helps me know how to do that.

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.
