My Most Recent Acquisition

This is my machine. I got it about 15-17 years ago. A Bernina and she has treated me very well. A couple weeks ago, she got sick and it was about that time that I began to think of giving her a much needed retirement. Not putting her away for ever, but giving her someContinue reading “My Most Recent Acquisition”

Put them in order. With my ever present helper. Sew them all together in boxesContinue reading “Flower Garden on the Wall”

My Sister is a Piecer

I say she is a piecer, because she doesn’t quilt, she just pieces the top and puts it in a pile for me to quilt. Well, I must be fair, she quilted the first one and then decided that quilting isn’t for her…but piecing is. 🙂 It’s alright. I can practice on her quilts. ThisContinue reading “My Sister is a Piecer”

Flower Garden

I finished quilting this quilt for a customer this week. It was a dream to quilt. It was a relief for the quilting machine to work very well after the difficulty I had on the last quilt. I couldn’t just do an all over quilting pattern for this one. 🙂 I am thankful, all overContinue reading “Flower Garden”
