My new friend is my Tin Lizzie, whom I have affectionately named Lucy. She and I have been getting to know one another as we work out our little idiosincrisies.
I've finished 7 quilt since I got her up and running just a month and a half. My free motion quilting has improved, and I've learned a few things that have made my quilting better. The biggest thing I have learned is to slow down and do things right the first time. Planning the design is probably the hardest part.
I have completed some quilts using an all over meander, scrolls with hearts, flowers and stars intermingled. My greatest accomplishment is a sampler quilt for a friend. I can't unveil it yet because it hasn't been given yet. Soon, I promise.
Here are a few pictures of the latest finishes:
This is a quilt top my Mom put together with a piece of vintage toy fabric. The toys are vintage and so is the fabric! I quilted it with an all over scroll design. It was quilt number 1.
Quilt number 2 is for my daughter Miss Busy. She loves girly, daisies. We bought this as a kit from a shop down in Ocean Shores, Washington. It only took me about 3 years to put it together. {smile}
The next one is a wonky Log Cabin quilt for my son, Ace. This is the third quilt in a series. Each boy has a scrappy, wonky Log Cabin quit for their beds. All three boys share a room so that I can have a sewing room for myself. (Aren't they nice?)
This is the Bricks of Healing quilt for my brother Gordon. It started out as a project for him, but turned into a comfort quilt for his wife after his passing.
This is my latest finish. It's a Blue Ridge Beauty pattern from Bonnie Hunter's book
Adventures with Leaders and Enders. This quilt is also for a gift, so I can't really give you any more information. I wish I could mail along an automatic video camera with it. I love to see the smiles when a gift is received.
