Today I have made some progress on my quilt for the LARK book. I made the backing, the quilt sandwich and started on the quilting. I have also written half of the instructions which makes me quite proud of myself :) Clever me decided to use the Two sole walking foot and the BSR system for the first time for a project that is going to be featured in a book... Not much practicing going on here. I DID try both on a tiny little trial piece before I started though. I also suffered from a slight stage fright before I started, it's been awhile since I quilted something this big. It was a nerve wracking start, but I think it's going to be alright. Good, but not perfect. My new favourite phrase.
I made the quilt top last autumn so the colour scheme is not the one you've seen here for the last few weeks :)
Thank you very much for your kind and encouraging comments on my last posts! I try my best to get back to you with an e-mail or a comment on your blog, but sometimes there is not enough time. I still read and appreciate all your comments very much! Thanks for being there!

Delightful! Love the quilted clouds, and birds in flight!
I have just finished a quilt so I know how much work there is to making one.
Your quilt looks just lovely, I can't wait to see it finished.
I love your very original looking style. This mini is great.
Your quilting looks beautiful and I love the birds! If you'd had too much time to practise it may have put you off and I think what you are making is just delightful :)

Good luck! I would have stage fright too. But having a book deal is very exciting! Can't wait to see it when it comes out.
THIS QUILT IS BEAUTIFUL!
Congrats to you for the book! How exciting:) You are so talented.
Hi Syko!
The quilt looks so awesome!
I posted one of your Flickr photos on my blog. I want to post a monthly inspiration photo on my blog, and I used one of yours for my first post. Thanks for always inspiring us with all your creativity. Have a great day!

It looks so wonderful Kajsa! Love the birds and the clouds!! I had the same experience with stage fright last week while machine-quilting for the firtst time on my new machine during a machine-quilting class. Learned a lot!!
