Yahoo....the only good thing about the high heat is the progress I have made this month. The donation quilt is quilted and waiting for binding fabric, and the watercolor wall hanging are complete, along with the simple place mats.
And today, I put the purple "dress" on Hot Legs....or Tiara quilting machine. This was from a tutorial shared by a gal on the Yahoo group for Handi-quilter and Tiara owners. Jasmine of Quilt Kisses worked all the kinks out of the pattern, so I got thru it in no time. Much better than a towel thrown over her to keep the dust bunnies away. Thanks, Jasmine, for presenting this tutorial.
Since I needed a big hunk of fabric quilted, I thought it was a great time to practice a new to me motif. It is hard to see the design on the outside fabric....good for hiding goofs. So here are a couple of photos of the lining side.
This is Scroll Flower from Amy's Free Motion Quilting. Needless to say, it is just a great pattern that flows any which way and covers the area quickly. If I did not have enough space for 2 scallop rows...one worked fine.
I really just played around with it....using different size scrolls to begin, and adding varying number of scallops. I love the look of it. So I will be adding this one to my motif book!
Did I mention book? Yes, the Let's Book It project is assembled.....ready to be pinned. I'll be looking for a new project to begin....decisions to make. Happy stitching.

Your purple dress looks great! I am so happy to see someone use my tutorial. Makes all the effort worth it.

It looks great, that's something I keep meaning to do, I'm going to check out the tute even though my machine is much smaller.
