The quilt, Entwined, is a pattern that Yvonne designed herself. She began piecing when we were at Camp Assiniboia on the May long weekend. I love the gradation of the greenish blue colour from light to dark.
Yvonne has done more quilting per square inch on this quilt than any other quilt she has ever done. It took a total of just over nine bobbins to complete! This is definitely an heirloom quilt to be treasured!
Another first for us was repairing some borders while the quilt was on the long arm frame. When Yvonne got near the bottom of the quilt she noticed that there were puckers due to too much material on the bottom border. Part of the problem was that the triangles she sewed the border onto were on the bias and probably stretched as she sewed. She had about three inches too much fabric in the border, so we stitch ripped the border off, repinned it and brought my sewing machine over to the long arm frame instead of taking it off. Quite the process!!
