I've finally finished my Picket Fence in Spring quilt, three months after I originally showed her to you in this post! I did not put any borders on her, so she finishes up at 48" square.
Today is such a beautiful day to take pictures of a fresh spring quilt!
Picket Fence in Spring is quilted in an allover, fairly dense meandering loop on Mrs. Singer, my vintage 1896 Singer 31-15 machine. She crinkled up nicely in the wash!
Her backing is just as pretty as the front!
Here you can see the depth that washing brings to the quilting.
Quilt Stats:
- Name: Picket Fence in Spring
- Pattern: My own.
- Fabric Top, Backing and Binding: Top quality quilt-shop fabric from a variety of designers, Urban Chiks, Holly Holderman, Lecein, etc.

This is such a happy quilt!
And isn't it so much fun to quilt on treadles!
@ Dora,
Mrs.Singer is an electric machine with a speed regulator attached. She has been retrofitted onto a quilting frame. She does not have a treadle.

Looks beautiful, congrats on a great finish! Gotta love the old machines, Mrs. Singer has a speed regulator???? Thanks for sharing!

@ Connie,
Mrs.Singer has a variable speed regulator which is not a stitch regulator. It keeps her sewing at a steady speed; whether that be very slow or VERY fast. It is still up to me to move her smoothly to keep the stitches the same length.
