Quilting in the springtime…

The birds are singing, spring has sprung in north Texas and I am quilting like crazy on my new Sweet Sixteen!

In between my manicure (so that my nails look pretty on camera in class this weekend) and mom's pedicure, and two trips to the pharmacy, I am trying to finish this quilt for Spring Market.

You'd think I have lots of time for this but I'm traveling a lot between now and market. I have to finish this quilt, and one small quilt for our next next book, and there are about 10 days total to do it in. I hope that helps to explain the lack of postings :-).

As I sit and quilt, this amaryllis is blooming in the window…

My friend, Helen, gave me a dish with three amaryllis bulbs. The dish is actually a wonderful loaf-sized baking dish that I know we are going to love.

This is a really nice birthday present and I am really enjoying them as I sew and sew and sew…

I'll write more on the Sweet Sixteen later. I'm learning as I go but so far I can say that I LOVE this machine.

  1. I am really interested in what you think about this machine- I have been looking at it for a couple months now- Are there feed dogs in it? Maybe this is a sily question but if there are, which direction do they go? I can’t justify the $$ for a long-arm, but this one is very tempting!

  2. No feed dogs. This machine does one thing very well and that is free-motion quilting. I didnt want a stitch regulator and I dont even know if it can come with one. I am very happy and Ill write more soon.
