Challenge to Myself

On January 3rd, along with a few other members of the Hanna Dustin Quilt Guild, we presented a lecture on longarm quilting.  As part of that lecture I stated that I have many quilt tops that I have yet to quilt.  So I have decided to challenge myself to quilt one of these tops per month.

The first one I plan to complete is one I made as part of a mystery class.  In the class you completed a bunch of blocks. I completed this top with sashing, corner blocks and two outer borders.  I just never got around to quilting it.  Mainly because I never forced myself to decide how to quilt it.  I took the quilt out last night to design the quilting.  I have figure out most of the quilting except for the sashing.  I figured I could do it last.  After I get the rest of the quilting done, I should have a better Idea of what will look good.

Off to load the quilt on the machine and get to work.

  • Templates Can Be Fun

    Pine Tree Quilt Shop requested that I make up a sample for the upcoming Leprechaun Shop Hop.  I hesitated when I found out it was using templates.  While I have used templates before, some are very limited in what you can do with them.  These on the other hand were fun and there is a…
