Nothing like 6+ inches of snow to keep one sequestered in the house with UFOs (sewing lingo for unfinished objects). I spent part of this morning getting Mabry's quilt ready for quilting. This is the pin-basting stage, making the sandwich (quilt top/middle batting/quilt back) ready for machine-quilting.
Mabry Mill is an old authentic gristmill on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, at mile marker 176. Since this is a quilt made for a little girl named Mabry, I decided to use the mill wheel block in the layout, and I chose fabric for the borders that mimics flowing water.
It looks so good!!
