Turning Miss Ida Innova... ON

YEP...she's all wrapped up,

with a 70's themed quilt top from last year.  I'm not crazy

about making square quilts.  But, I ended up doing some

 "jimmy-rigging" to the pattern (some of you, who know me are

NOT suprised with my changing things a bit)...The changes

 kind of created a "square effect" ... oh, well...

 Thread is chosen, and bobbins wound

The backing is a bright green, almost the same color

as this bright lime green varigated thread.  The Thread

is King Tut by Superior Thread Company.  It's one of my

favorites for quilting on the Innova.  =)

I generally use all of 3 bobbins on a queen sized
comforter quilt....this one is about 75" square.

"Wake up...Ida..."  She's sleeping under her new cover

I'll peel back the covers slowly...so as not to startle her...

...maybe tomorrow, I will get her threaded.

I will need to plug her in.  I never keep Ida plugged in.

An electrical storm or strong wind could happen while

I wasn't around to unplug.

 When she does get plugged in...it's into a surge protector.

I don't want to have a power surge to give her the

"hibbie-jeeebiez" while I'm in the process of quilting.

SO...my goal is....

to get IDA turned ON tomorrow. =)

Today, I'm linking up with WonderFULL,

stupendous, awesome SARAH...at...

I know...Ida's not really turned on, yet.  And, I don't actually

 have the quilt quilted or finished.  But,...HEY, I did get it ALL

ready to BE quilted... so, purdy...please???
