Meet Max the joyful yellow lab mix

 

 

 

I finally finished Max today. He's a happy boy :-)

 

Here is Max in his non quilty life.

 

He started out like this

 

Then became this.

 

Now he has a body

And a field to play in

 

Now he's happy to be quilted and looking for his "forever home"

This the back of Max the dog I have been quilting this week.

I'm having issues, nice that the worse thread problems are happening on the black so it hits you in the face

As you can see my issues happen when I go backwards. I'll be moving happily along and then always on the way back, I get the looseness , (tension bobbin problems?) above. It doesn't happen all the time which puzzles me. Can anyone shed some light on what I may be doing wrong?

I did some whiskers this morning that came out good.

WIP Wed - max is born

I'm making good progress with my portrait of a joyful dog that I have named Max.

I'm quilting him now, have to quilt the background and binding.

He's a yellow lab that just wants to play. Next week he should be ready to meet you:-)

I also have this UFO that I want to finish.

My problem is I screwed up the middle star and have to rip out and start over, something I hate doing.

I wonder if I can do a lot of quilting, like rays coming out and hide the skinny bottom part.

I will spend hours of quilting to avoid an hour of a redo, just hate doing the same thing twice.

What do you think? Should I just stop whining and redo?

I really want to finish both projects so I can start another I have an idea for using this luciousness.

Shall we make any bets on what happens first?
