Posting again

Here I am again.  Wonderful day today.  Cold but the sun came out and that was a welcome site.  I have a word for the new year and that word is “complete”.  I want to finish at least 12projects which means I must work really hard.  Tomorrow I start on MM’s quilt.  Beautiful Peacock panel which results in my brain not coming up with a good design.  I will post the quilt when finished.  Will have to use black thread on the blue green back and that poses a problem but the panel requires black thread so I have to match top and bottom so no pokies show.   Have a good week and we are getting excited that snow is predicted for our area on Tuesday.

Pictures—Lots of them.

my pictures consist of travel, family, my quilts, customer quilts and Charlie, my Havanese.  I will be posting them and I hope I can put them in some type of grouping.  We will see.  The following are my personal quilts.

Blocks from my Baltimore Album Quilt.  Needle turn appliqué and quilted on my long Arm.

What Happened?

1.  I changed the blog name and address to the above.  I will always be striving to be a better Quilt maker and longarm quilter as long as I can go.
2.  I pulled out one of my personal quilts to start on yesterday and quilted the top row before the storms rolled in. This was a kit from a local Quilt shop that 😩 is no longer in business.  Pictures will follow soon.  Square in a square blocks are featured around the large centered applicque Southern Belle and none of them meet on point.  Not a single one! I could not believe it!  It was made several years ago but I was not a new piece so no excuses.   I am not taking the thing apart so it is what it is.

I finished this quilt earlier this year.  It was designed by Meg Hawkey of Crabapple Hill Studios and features crayon tinting.

My good life

The past year has flown by.  A trip we had been looking forward to was canceled due to an emergency trip and stay in the hospital.  We hope to reschedule this trip some day.  I am now the proud owner of the Freedom(known as Freddie) APQS quilting machine with bliss track system and Quilt Path computer.  I have had no problems adjusting to the new machine.  It is a wonderful quilting machine.  The quilt path will take some time to learn the software and be able to easily use it to quilt customer's quilts. I could not be happier.  My old quilting machine is waiting for the right buyer in my garage.

 When I figure how to post pictures again I will. My picture at the top of the blog is old and also needs changing.  It is a beautiful day out there here in Alabama where you can always count on the weather changing.. I have to get back to work on MU's quilt.  Have a blessed day.

Catching Up!
