My Un-Quilting Adventures ~ Part 2 ~ De-Threading

Unquilting a Quilt ~ Part 2 ~ De-Threading

What was I thinking ? 

The quilting  was

Unravelled at 2:00am

It is now 2:00pm 

and I have been working on removing all the loose threads 

since my first cup of coffee this morning.

I have tried a variety of things, including a spin in the dryer on no-heat for the backing.

The best tool is the seam ripper with the rubberized ends.

I will be buying another one of these. 

What am I thinking?

I am thinking it is time for another cup of coffee.

On to the next step ... de-threading by roller. 

It will all be worth it in the end ... :-) 

Ribbit ... Ribbit ... Ribbit ... Repeat

This Un-Quilting Adventure Started Here

is on-going ... and going ... and going on. 

The quilty kitties are helping.

In this photo, Maestro looks like she does not quite understand the concept.

It tried again to explain that I want to un-quilt this one so I can

quilt it again on my new longarm.

On the surface of things, it seams not to make much sense.

I know I would never finish this quilt on my regular machine now.

Trying to do the same quilting on the new long arm would not match.

It is too pretty a quilt top to let sit unfinished in my closet.

This is the way to go.

Maestro say,  " You can do this, Mommy.  I love you."

Maestro may not understand this reasoning,

but she is supportive.

I can do this!

The sun is shining today!

I was forgetting what the sun looked like.

May the sun shine in your life 

and may your quilty adventures be more productive than mine today.

Happy Wednesday!
