My first quilts, don’t look too close

I’ve been without a sewing machine for a week while mine was being cleaned and repaired. Why I always wait for it to break before getting it serviced, I can’t tell you.

Feather fail

I gave feathers a try for the first time on the longarm, and as you can tell by the feathers going in two different directions above, it is safe to say it didn’t go so well. I’ve been taking Free-Motion Quilting with Feathers by Angela Walters on Craftsy. I’ve taken other classes from Angela on […]

I made a king-sized quilt in week last week. Yes, seriously, 108″ inches square, start to finish in one week. The details of the project are still a secret, so that’s all I can say for now. When you make quilting your day job, as much fun as quilting is, it is work. After completing […]
