More Trip Around the World

I’ve placed pieces for a couple more blocks.

After I’m happy with the layout, I sew diagonal rows and clip them together.

I have the next four ready to sew.

Have a great day!

Harry Bell Avante 2

Hi all! I hope you had an amazing Christmas! We sure did.

But this post is about Harry. You may recall that I purchased him three years ago for my quilting room here in Arizona. He has been a real workhorse and trouble free to boot.

But I have decided to bring Friday to Arizona and I don’t need two long arms in one room! So here are some photos of Harry and some info. If you are in the southwest and willing to drive, he could be yours! Sorry, no shipping. 😊

The machine is on a 12 foot frame, so you can quilt anything from a miniature quilt up to a king size quilt.

Stickers will be removed. 😊

It comes with the back side controls and a laser light for doing pantographs.

The “trip” counter shows how many stitches I have personally put on the machine.

It has two stitch regulation modes, precision for ruler work and cruise for freehand, pantographs etc.

The package includes a stand alone bobbin winder, ruler base, quick loading system, and some thread and bobbins to get you started.

Here are a few samples of stitching I’ve done with this machine.

This is a great, trouble free machine to get started on due to the low price. I’m asking $5,000. Please email me at sew4given@aol.com if you are interested.

Thanks!

Katy

I’m Calling It Quits….

…..on these leader/ender blocks. I have a few small squares left, but not enough to make another row of blocks, so I’m stopping here.

The small squares were cut 2 inches. The blocks finish at 7 1/2 inches. I need to decide if I want to add a border.

Have a great day!

Christmas Eve

I read this early this morning, it is from Hannah Brenchler. It touched something deep in my spirit. I hope it blesses you as well.

Trip Around the World

I brought this project with me. This will be block two of nine.

And this will be block 3.

A reader asked an interesting question, is this Trip Around the World? Or Boston Commons? I really don’t know!

I do know it is a fun block to design. Have a great day!

Finish It Up Friday ~ Chisel Stars

I finished this little quilt made from leftovers.

I did a large free hand meander for the quilting.

The backing is not a perfect match, but it was what I had on hand.

I used this same fabric for the border of this quilt.

This quilt finished at 43 inches square.

Definitely a pattern I would use again. The AccuQuilt chisel die is one of my favorites!

Have a great day!

Back on track….

I’m back on track with this project.

Did you guess this is where I was headed?

This won’t get very big though, I’m going to run out of feedsack bits here in AZ. That’s okay. I think a small Irish Chain will scratch the itch.

Have a great day!

Chisel Star Progress

I really have no idea what this block is called, but it is a fun block.

I had enough pieces for 9 blocks.

And I still have a few leftover bits. But I’m all out of that red, so I’m done making blocks.

Stay tuned….
