    Default I finally finished the quilted cover for my 9W-7

    A year or so ago when I finished my #2 9W7 cabinet repair I said I was gonna make a quilt with it.

    Well, I didn't say how big of a quilt so I decided to make a quilted cover to protect all the work I did on the wood.

    To be exact I made a Whacky quilted cover.

    The backing is fleece, I didn't get a pic of it.

    I had fits from the start to the finish on it. I mentioned that in this thread:
    { http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...g-t251525.html } about the wrong way bobbin, and then had a very difficult time keeping my quilting lines straight. Granted I was doing it freehand sort of, but they look like an intoxicated snake trying to cross the road.
    Nonetheless the cover is finished;

    cat tested and approved ...

    Now I wont be worrying about the wood getting scratched up.

    That is a nice looking cabinet! And, I like the cover too. I can't tell that any of the quilting lines are wavy - it looks really good from here!

    Great job on both the treadle and the cover! Your quilting lines look fine to me. Since you pointed them out I looked close and I couldn't see the problem. Your cat doesn't seem to mind either.

    Looks great Joe & I assume "cat approved" by that handsome guy/girl !! You did a wonderful job on the cabinet & I completely understand why you would want to protect it.

    I love the way you refinished that cabinet. It is simply gorgeous. Did you quilt the cover for it on the treadle machine?

    I looked close and can't see any problems with it. I think you did a nice job and it looks like it will do the job! Cat approved too.

    Blackberry,

    The cover was 100% made and quilted on the treadle. No e-machines were used.
