So if you’re keeping count this is really the 4th, but I hot handed off that Viking to get the Horizon and never looked back. It wasn’t a bad little machine, but we just didn’t bond. I sat down and sewed on Faygo Kitty Machine… which my Mother has insisted we call them… these may [...] Well that went fast. Once I got in the groove and wasn’t afraid to cut the wool…it went pretty quick. Time to cut the vines and staple all the pieces to the fabric. So I seriously admired this wool applique quilt at the quilt shop – called Mary Ellen’s Garden by Lori Smith. I took the wool applique class in the Fall and wanted to continue, but it was too close to the holidays and the craziness that it took me a while to get back to it.

I found this great stand up bag pattern at the LQS and this beautiful crane fabric that I fussy cut to get the scene and decided to give it a go. They walked me through the pattern and each side it’s [...] So I finished the 10 quilt. A great pattern for 10 fat quarters and a bit more, but the really fun part was that I got to take a Long Arm quilting class. After the class we booked rental time on the machine and I quilted this quilt. I quilted it with a [...] So this Fall I’ve taken 2 different paper piecing classes. One was actually a foundation class in miniature and this is only about 12 inches square. Each block is only 4.5″ unfinished. It was set on point and I just have to put on borders to make it a square and finish it off. I [...] I’m slowly, slowly moving along on the Farmer’s Wife.
