I finally finished the quilted cover for my 9W-7

A year or so ago when I finished my #2 9W7 cabinet repair I said I was gonna make a quilt with it.

Well, I didn't say how big of a quilt so I decided to make a quilted cover to protect all the work I did on the wood.

To be exact I made a Whacky quilted cover.

The backing is fleece, I didn't get a pic of it. :(

I had fits from the start to the finish on it. I mentioned that in this thread:
{ http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...g-t251525.html } about the wrong way bobbin, and then had a very difficult time keeping my quilting lines straight. Granted I was doing it freehand sort of, but they look like an intoxicated snake trying to cross the road.
Nonetheless the cover is finished;

Now I wont be worrying about the wood getting scratched up.

Looks great! Did a great job on the machine also!

That is a nice looking cabinet! And, I like the cover too. I can't tell that any of the quilting lines are wavy - it looks really good from here!

Great job on both the treadle and the cover! Your quilting lines look fine to me. Since you pointed them out I looked close and I couldn't see the problem. Your cat doesn't seem to mind either.

Looks great Joe & I assume "cat approved" by that handsome guy/girl !! You did a wonderful job on the cabinet & I completely understand why you would want to protect it.

I love the way you refinished that cabinet. It is simply gorgeous. Did you quilt the cover for it on the treadle machine?

I looked close and can't see any problems with it. I think you did a nice job and it looks like it will do the job! Cat approved too. ;)

Blackberry,

The cover was 100% made and quilted on the treadle. No e-machines were used.

You did a great job Joe, the sewing machine looks terrific and the quilt is perfect, quit criticizing your sewing ! Love your kitty sitting on top too.

All your work is great. Thanks for showing us your "wonky" quilted protector. And your cat is beautiful!
