Sisters quilt show

My favorite summer quilt show!


The weather was the best it has ever been, not too hot with a nice breeze. I had a good time, I went with my sister and a friend from the Parkland Parish Quilt Shop. We spent a lot of time shop hopping and driving around the area. I didn't pickup much fabric, but I did find a bunch of good books and a few patterns, okay....maybe more than a few.
While traveling around I managed to finish two of my Rabbits Prefer Chocolate appliqué blocks. It was the end to a perfect week. I can't wait for next year.

Against all odds

It feels good to finish a quilt.


I have finished another Thimble Berries quilt.
I believe this is one of those quilts that I will always remember, maybe because I will have quilted 7 of them by the time I get through my waiting list. This one was going so smooth, until I discovered a bit of an issue with the new milli!

When I bought the new milli, I had the goal of not having to always be tweaking this and that. Well... so far little luck of that. I do love the machine, but...it is always something? If it isn't me, it is the machine, or it's the quilt. I know I should not be wining about a wonderful new long arm, it just seems so frustrating. With any luck, I can get connected to the new long arm. So far, I am not too sure if we are friends yet. Okay, I will shut up now.
