Not So Swift

 


My caravan is a Challenger SWIFT so I chose a digital quilt design that looked a bit like swallows in flight. I had trouble getting the design to line up as it was not a Bernina file so I spent a morning faffing around in Art and Stitch until I got it to link up nicely. It is a really nice design from Intelligent Quilting but it was slow to stitch out as there is a lot of back-tracking on the wings. I also had some trouble with thread breaking, possibly due to the mix of fabrics used, so I had to slow the speed right down. The quilts look great on the bunks so all I really “need” to do inside the caravan is make bunting.


I picked up some 50p saucers and a cute milk jug to emphasise the kitsch look. I am probably going to go all out and paint the caravan’s exterior so I got some pastelly sample cards. So much for getting an OK caravan and just using it “as-is”…




I had a really nice Tula Pink customer quilt this week and used a Karlee Porter design (Swivel Circle 2) on it which I think has a modern look. The customer sent airy wool wadding so the texture is lovely!





At this rate I will have to get back to some unfinished projects or even have a well needed spring clean in my workshop.
