Some eye candy!

Hi everyone!  a friend just told me that every 3rd Saturday there is a free Handiquilter class at Sew From The Heart  What?  it's free!  What?  I am so there!!!

I don't know anyone's name, so I can't give credit.  But there quilts were wonderful.  I learned a lot.  I will go again next month.  Thank you Gloria, for telling me about this.......

Thank you Jean!

You know Internet friends are fun! and sooooo helpful. on the HQ16 list I met Jean from Apple Valley, CA. She was here to pick up a daughter who had some surgery. so while here, she was able to come over and show me so much about my HQ16. she also let me borrow her DVDs on the HQ. THANK YOU Jean!!! so far, I haven't broke any needles or had rail road tracks on the back. knock on wood.

Jean and I have been going back and forth about a 4 patch stacked posy quilt. she brought her quilt to show. isn't it beautiful? great job Jean!
and here is Jean!

Thanks again Jean, you are a sweetie!!! I appreciate your help soooooo much!

A New Toy!

I love to quilt! it is my passion. the only thing(s) I love more is my husband and my family. I love seeing my kids and grands sleeping or snuggling under one of the quilts I made. I love it when my grandson Justin asks for another quilt because his is too short for his long legs. I love the process of picking out the fabric, cutting it out, sewing it together and making list of what I have accomplished. I am not a very good machine quilter and I have blamed it on the limitations of the set up I have now. A original HQ with a Juki machine. I soon lost interest in machine quilting because of how limited I was. That's my excuse!

Anyway, on one of the lists I frequent, someone offered their HQ16 with a table for free. Only thing was they had to come and take it down and take it away. I was lucky enough to be the first to respond. So I made plans with this generous woman and on Saturday, my husband, my son, my son in law and grandson all came with me to pick up my new toy.

Thank you guys for for taking apart this baby so carefully. and to the wonderful lady who is so very generous, thank you from the bottom of my heart! I am humbled to have been given this treasure. It might be a week or two before I get it set up. but right now I am reading everything I can so I will be ready to play!!
