Home from "Quilting in the Pines" retreat this past Thursday - Sunday. Fo
ur days of nothing but sewing, chatting and eating food that someone else prepared and did the clean up for - a quilter's heaven. While on retreat I finished my New York Beauty project that I call Christmas Beauty. I have always wanted a special quilt to set out at Christmas and this is it, just have to get it quilted now. It measures 80 x 96 and although you can't tell it in the picture, the white in the quilt is a snow frost look that shimmers. This one will be a challenge to quilt, as I do like to quilt my own quilts and I don't have a long arm machine.

Now retreat has come and gone and its back to reality.

ReplyDeleteYou asked me about my Juki - I LOVE it! I would highly recommend it. I use it for everything, not just machine quilting, though it is is a piece of cake to quilt with it. I piece everything with it, I sew clothes, everything! I can't recommend it enough...no I don't work for them lol! There is a yahoogroup with a wealth of info on it which I use a lot.
Thanks for stopping by!
That is gorgeous!! Wow! Seeing your quilts really inspire me! Im still young so I have a lot of quilting years in me :o) My children are young so this is a hobby that can be passed down to my children, my childrens children and so on. Im so glad I am learning how to quilt!
