Went to the museum on Saturday.  They have a great new exhibit.

Finding my quilts to post to the blog

Today I have tried to take pictures of many of my quilts to share on the blog.  Also took time to clean up the sewing room and finish as few things.  Not any quilting going on today.  I must put something on the machine so I can play.

Finishing up

I hope today to finish a few projects I have going.  Will post when finished.

Placemats

I used this pattern http://stores.digitechpatterns.com/-strse-4425/Daffodil-Elegance-1-Placemat/Detail.bok

I did these placemats with a design I had purchased for my longarm.  I look forward to creating more placemates in the future.

Jan 15, 2011 SQG Workshop

The guild had a workshop on disappearing nine patch.  I decided to do one with fabric that would be for a man.  It worked up rather fast.  I really do like the pattern.  I will be doing a scrappy quilt with this pattern.  Now I just need to decide how to quilt it.

2011

2011 has arrived and I have not quilted so far this year.  I did go to several fabric and quilt shops today.

My quilting and sewing room

I am so lucky to have a great sewing room and all the equipment that I have.  I have a 170 Bernina with embroidery unit, 640 Bernina with Embroidery unit and several older machines.  I am also the proud owner of a Baby Lock Jewel longarm quilter with quiltmotion - a computerized system for the quilter.

I am currently just learning how to use the longarm.  I am spending quite a bite of time on line looking at what other people are doing and dreaming of making beautiful quilts.
