Spell Check for Quilters

I was super proud of my “Breakthrough” quilt because it marked the first time I was able to free-hand feather quilting in quilting the border of a quilt on a home machine!

I even machine embroidered the label on the hanging sleeve instead of making a separate label that I would have to spend extra time whipping it down by hand. I was very pleased with myself!

Until…. a student in one of my classes asked me if I was going to quit quilting after my “Breakthrough” quilt. I was quite puzzled, but you can see for yourself here what prompted the rather strange question:

quilt funny

We had a good laugh about that. What a difference a letter makes!!! Quilt and Quit! Needless to say, I wasn’t feeling so smug after that little episode . I actually thought of 1 Corinthians 10:12 “Wherefore, he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall.”

At the same time, I was also wondering if they should include a spell checker program in those embroidery modules…. Meanwhile, I hope you will not quit, but you will keep quilting!

Thanks again for visiting! I hope you have a super nice day!

I can hardly believe that was done on a home machine! Amazing – and stunning!

Unfortunately a spell-checker would have let it pass. :) It is so beautiful.

Hi Wendy,

What a stunning quilt. You will be able to do those all white ones. – Sandra.

Wendy, you did an incredible job on that quilting. And NO we don’t want you to quit ;-)

That is a great quilting. I believed you can do that. Love the border fabric too!

Oh my…I had to read that through again to see the Quit instead of guilt :0) Too funny. The Lord is good to us to let us know we aren’t in control of things, isn’t he? Have a great week WEndy!!

Too funny!

Wendy, your quilting is spectacular! Wish I lived close enough to take a class from you.

You’ve done it once again! Phenomenal work!! I have yet to attempt to machine quilt my quilts and I’ve been using yours as the example. You’ll be a hard act to follow! Well done!
