My butterfly quilt is still not changed.
I do have the pattern I changed to, so this UFO is not what it was going to be.

I'm preparing for vacation, so I'm unsure how the next two weeks will look.
I do have a quilt I want to bind on the trip, and I have some hand sewing that will make things easy to finish when I get home.
But August will probably be another light month.

This quilt does not want to be quilted.
I wanted to quilt it but had no energy after the show.
Then, when I did start, my thread kept breaking.
Why? Who knows.
I changed to a different needle brand, and the breaking thread stopped.
Then, after that, it was quilting fine until a bobbin change.
The machine felt heavy, and that's the only way to describe it.
Did I stop and check it out? Nooooo.
When I rolled the quilt, there was eye-lashing everywhere.
So, I changed the bobbin case and re-calibrated it.
I finished quilting the quilt and went back to unstitch the last bobbin change.
It was easy because the stitching was so loose.
This is how much thread I took out.
I have a wide space to re-quilt.
The holes are still visible in this fabric, so I should be able to recreate what I'd quilted.
I want to take this on the trip so I can bind it.
Hope I can make it happen.
The funny thing is I seem to like these two browns paired with black.
I was doing my yoga class and turned towards my bed, and this is what I saw.
Notice anything similar?
Yep, exactly the same two browns with different black prints.
I must like the combination. LOL
