Very nice set up pam. It will go fast in a frame like that.

VERY VERY Nice. Your brother is gonna love it

Very manly quilt. Nice frame - I was going to ask if you were able to sit while tying it and you answered my question. I can't stand for long periods of time.
I am sure you will get it done by next weekend. Good luck! |
GREAT looking quilt for a fella, Pam!
Mrs Grace is what I call my big frame--, Grace for the portable floor frame & then: Little Gracie for the lap frame. Everything has to have a name here! :mrgreen:) Mrs Grace & I had a whale of a time the first quilt I loaded on her. I was abt to decide my desire to have her exceeded my ability? When I was finally happy with the way it went on (I learned you have to make sure the ends are perfectly straight) I saw to my horror I had loaded the backing right side up, rather than right side down. SIGH FIRST time is a learning experience, I've had no problems since. Repetition is the key to knowledge , so it is said. I hope you greatly enjoy YOUR Mrs. Grace for many years!! Your fabrics are lovely in this quilt! Riley |
VERY NICE!!! love the colors! Is that "turning 20" pattern? Looks good and easy.

Yep, it was quite a challenge the first time. I watched the video that came with it again right before loading it and that helped. I had to think for a moment when I was doing the backing to make sure I was putting it on the right way.
It would be so much better with two people, one on each end, to keep the top and backing rolling straight. I would do a partial turn, walk to one side and straighten, walk to the other side and straighten... back and forth. |
The fabric is the Civil War reproduction, Vicksburg by Judy Rothermel (might not have that name exactly right) and the pattern is called 4 Square Fun. It was very easy to do, had it done in a few days. I chose it because of the masculine colors, not flowery, and the simple pattern I thought would be good for my brother.

I LOVE your frame AND that quilt but I said that when I first saw it - wish I had room for one, maybe I'll sell one of the kids, then I could use their room! :lol: K x |
Light fare will do. I eat lunch at work and don't want a big meal at night. :wink:
Selling one of the kids should net you enough for a frame!! :lol: But you might want to keep them to crawl underneath and look at how the underside is coming along so you don't have to. |
