Remember these? They are quilted and bound!
I quilted them both the same.
And I used the same backing and binding for both.
It is very satisfying to finish projects that I pieced last summer.
Have a great day!
I stopped at a quilt shop in Taos, New Mexico when we were there. I fell in love with this panel, but I have no idea what I will do with it.
I already have some of this National Park fabric. Someday I will make a quilt for Dora with it.
This was a total impulse buy, but I love it!
Still working on these woven star blocks.
I found this case at Goodwill and couldn’t leave it. No machine inside, but it probably held a Singer Model 28.
Our plants were hit hard by the record heat this past summer. But this little flower vine not only survived, it thrived!
Remember the storage unit I picked up for my small studio dies? I found another one!
But this second one came with two sets of alphabet dies as well!
Have a great day!
I finished the hand quilting on this little doll quilt on our way home, but then it sat around for a while waiting for the binding.
It is quilted pretty heavily, but I had time in the RV to do it.
All the fabrics are vintage except for the binding.
The backing is plain muslin.
The enamel number plate was purchased in Iceland at a flea market. Seventy-three was our house number when we lived in France years ago. We had an address plate like this back then. It seemed to match the quilt.
This is my first finish since we got back. Finally.
Have a great day!
PS Carolyn Henderson, you left a comment that I am unable to respond to. I am not a dealer and do not sell long arm machines.
Notice anything different between these first two photos?
As soon as I finished quilting those four quilts this week, I sold Harry 2! Within minutes of posting, a lady messaged me. She came, bought, and went home happy. 😊
He has served me well. But when I sold my HQ Forte last January, I decided I would sell my Avante as well and try something new.
So here is my something new!
She’s a 2012 Gammill Vision with a 22 inch throat. I couldn’t have done this without this guy.
Moving a long arm to a second story quilting room is no joke!
I have a lot to learn and I am certain there will be an adjustment period, but I’m very excited!
Have a great day!
Here is a peek at the quilting on the next quilt loaded on the same backing.
This is the pantograph I used on the quilt shown above.
I had more backing so I loaded up quilt number four!
Can you believe I quilted four quilts on the same piece of backing?
I guess I have some binding to do now. Have a great day!
I’m so happy to be quilting again! I pieced these small tops at the campground and I decided to load and quilt them at the same time.
This is the pantograph I used.
I loaded a huge piece for the backing and I will quilt this next on the same piece.
I have plenty of backing, but the batting might be tight!
I do have to press the top first. Hopefully that will get done today.
Have a good one.
You knew this would happen, didn’t you? I just haven’t been thrilled with my sewing room ever since I moved the long arm to the side.
The room also needed a deep clean and I needed a reminder of what I even have here. So I rolled up my sleeves and made a worse mess.
I still have an awful lot of work to do, but this is where things stand now.
One of my goals, was to get all the fabric storage in one area. Yes, I’m concerned about fabric fading from these windows. I’m trying to come up with a solution for that.
The island on the left below is all for cutting. The one on the right is for sewing.
This is the corner of shame. 🤦🏻♀️ So much work to do here.

Now it’s time to get back to work. Have a great day!
I finally took a minute to get the binding started on this little quilt. Yes, that is Willy Boy underneath.
Ever since Covid started, I’ve groomed my dogs myself. I’m very happy to say that I have a new dog groomer! Daughter #2 is now a certified groomer and has been working at a salon here in AZ. I’m hanging up my clippers and letting her do it from now on. Doesn’t Winslow look adorable?
Willy didn’t want his photo taken, but he looks so good too. She is clearly much better at this than I am. 😁
We celebrated by going to In and Out Burger.
They have Pup Patties for the dogs. They loved them!
Have a great day!
My heart is broken for all those affected by the hurricanes. It can be difficult to know how to help in these situations. Samaritan’s Purse is an organization that is well trained and effective at helping. If you ar3 looking for a solid organization to donate to, I recommend Samartitan’s Purse.
If you are wanting to send quilts, here are a couple options.
Now onto my own stuff. 🙂
This is a list of projects that I kitted up before leaving AZ last spring. I didn’t finish everything, but I did several projects that weren’t even on the list.
I saw this ad on FB Marketplace recently. It’s a card table for a Singer Featherweight!
My dear SIL and Daughter #2 picked it up for me and it was in my AZ living room awaiting my return. 😊
Well, if this isn’t the truth!
Have a great day!
