It was time to "belly up to the trough" with the long arm. I started working on finding a backing fabric for my paint chip challenge. I thought this would be a good project to test how DW was going to behave and found just enough of this to put on the back.

| From the Kaleidoscope quilt |
I had to piece the bugger together to make enough of it, but thought it appropriate since I used it for another guild activity we did a few years back.
I also had to piece the batting sections together and then we were off and running. DW sounds pretty good actually. Once in a while (very infrequently), I'll get a quick 'chirp' sound from below, but he seems to be stitching well with only one little thread loop; at least that's all I noticed.
I was having such a good time and forgot just how much I enjoy sitting in front of a blank canvas to create stitching that enhances the piecing I've done.

| A little "test" section |
I was going to work the computer on this piece, but decided to free motion the whole thing. After working with the test piece I loaded the whole quilt and finished it the same day.
Since I got this done so quickly, I moved along to my big "mystery" project and got another row done before shutting down the studio for the day.

| Starting to look like something |
Consumers Energy is supposed to be here today or tomorrow to change our meter to a digital version. They asked that all electronic things not be used and this includes most of what I do here in the studio. I need to press and cut more blocks out for the project above so when they do show up, I can just work on the manual portion of this very arduous project. I guess the job will only take then a few hours, so I can get a good amount done while they are here working.
