Missing In Action

Where have I been?  Not blogging, obviously.  I have learned that blogging takes a whole lot of time away from quilting.  Also, there was one week in February that I just could not look at a quilt.  I never thought that would happen! 

 

Then, I got on the ball finally ...

I Love the New HQ Avante

I've been using the new HQ 18" Avante now for about 3 months and what a great improvement HQ has made. The new rail system eliminates the little squiggles of the old plastic rails. The new poles do not deflect, which means quilts stay straighter and chances for wrinkling ...

Boys and Girls Club Auction

This quilt was so much fun.  Relatively easy because it was a panel I purchased from Bernina's www.nuttallbernina.com.  Then, I sewed a couple strips of fabric that matched the panel to make a little bigger, and I set out quilt.

Challenge

 

Art:  I met a quilter this year in a nursing facility. She was recovering from a stroke and had a real challenge recalling and using words to communicate with me and others and often just abandoned conversations. But when I asked her about the quilt on her bed, she shared ...

Adorable baby quilt

Yesterday my good friend asked if I could quilt a baby quilt she made.  Of course I said yes.  I had to share this because embroidery is not something I do.  It is so sweet!  What a lucky little girl to receive this!Baby quilt

My 1st Blog

This is my first attempt at "blogging".  I am just starting to quilt for others and continue to learn with each new quilt that I do.  I enjoy adding my "art" to someone else's work but find that I miss seeing my work after I send it home with ...

Fun with Fusion!

I finally got to quilt with my blacklight on today!  It was just to cool!  I will post the quilt (my quilt) when finished.  Here is a photo with the blacklight on and one without.  Thanks to Debby for the quilt pattern.

She's Coming

Today, Feb. 8 is one of the best day's I can remember since this cold, wet, yucky winter began!! I ordered my Handi Quilter Avante 18.  I am so excited but exhausted at the same time because it meant I had to clean and re-arrange my sewing room so ...

Amy Butler Tote

I recently finished an Amy Butler tote using her "love laminates" line.  My daughter is taking oil painting classes at Boston's Museum of Art and requested a tote to carry to and from class.  I thought the coated fabric would work well with paints!  I added pockets for her ...
