Preparing to quilt "Tweet"

In the midst of chaos and panic, I stopped to layer and start quilting Tweet this week!

Quilting to the rescue!!!

I also made a video about how I start the quilting process.

My videographer was off earning money for a house for us so I had to work the camera while talking so forgive me for all mistakes please!

Most of you are old hands at this and have your ways to start that process but it's always fun to peek into someone's studio, isn't it?
The video:

After making the video, I chose threads from the one box I found

and did the stabilization quilting lines and actually am now ready to do the free motion work.

This is a fabric bowl made for me by my friend Linda...

 it sits on top of the machine cabinet, holding my best usable pin cushion, my little microblade scissors, glasses, and clover seam ripper. I can toss over thread spools and bobbins when working.

I listened to TED talks while working today.

Then I did the dishes, walked the dog, and looked at more houses that were on too steep inclines.
sigh

If only all I had to do was quilt....
