So, I loaded and started quilting the second Habitat for Humanity quilt.

I rolled it and there is a pleat in the center of the back.
I have no idea how I did that.
It was the first pass. 
so sad, because I have to unstitch half the quilt.
This is going to take me days to do because of the design.😒

I am not doing lots of sewing daily, but I am sewing daily.
This week was more long-arm quilting charity quilts.

Quilting is more fun than Housework has us working on scraps.
 The pumpkin is my scrap use.

I didn't work with my scraps, except for organizing them and cutting for the senior center program.
