July 25 2017 - Lone Star


Wow has this summer zipped by... In June I headed up to Madeline Island for a weekend of QOH quilting.  I look forward to this weekend every year.  This year we finished 3 tops, I will show them when I start to quilt them. 


So what have I been working on?


I started  a Instagram account so I can post the quilting and maybe some other items on there for easier access.

A dear friend of the family has a son who is getting married.  I don't have the name of the person who pieced it.  The request was for minimal quilting to enhance the pattern.  I did straight-line echoing in the corners and triangle background area.  Stitch in the ditch in the star area. Hand embroidered the names and date of the wedding. The thin white border was filled with a sting of connected leaves.

I will be doing some traveling the month of August for  business and pleasure.  That means no quilting for me for awhile.. I hope to be back at the long arm the end of August.


Thanks for checking in.

Hi  - Lots of life changes since my last post. I have moved to Somerset Wi to be closer to family. I started a new job as a project manager about 2 years ago.  I love this job!!!


The most fun news is I finally got my long arm, I have been waiting for this day for a very long time!


I  continued to sew for Quilts of Honor and am proud of the our hard working volunteers.  In 2016 our WISE chapter presented  119  quilts to our veterans. Way to go team!!!


Now that I have moved to Somerset Wisconsin and am starting a extended QOH chapter here.  Hope to create a small stash of quilts so they are ready to go when the need arises.




Here is the first  QOH quilt on new long arm.  One layer batting, glide thread in cream, edge to edge meandering.

That's all for now.  Thanks for checking in
