I finally got around to machine quilting</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sue Spargo's BOM Fresh Cut from 2017. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a challenge to say the least on my sewing machine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Easy free motion quilting I thought...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sure lets machine quilt a heavy wool quilt </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in the heat of the summer, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
upstairs in my sewing room with no ac...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
easy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do like the binding.</div>

Thanks for all the comments on my bear.<br />
I haven't seen him since, not that I'm looking for him.<br />
It's been pretty hot so I imagine he's gone<br />
to a higher elevation where it's cooler.<br />

this little one this morning.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have two more rows of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my Emily Munroe Quilt finished, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but the drifts are three feet deep out back</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so it will have to wait for another</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
time before I can post those photos.</div>
