Happenings

I quilted on the CCCat's longarm today. WhooHOOO! With her guidance, I've accumulated a few pantographs and cones of thread!! Here's the newest color additions....These are So Fine thread from Superior.

This is the one panto I bought. It's called popcorn and I really like it. I would show the rest of the pantos but can't seem to copy the pictures. We used two different pantos on the quilt because we just wanted to know how they looked! This longarm quilting is incredibly fun. I am so, so fortunate to have such a generous friend. We make a good team. She quilts, I cut and fuss, I quilt, she cuts and fusses....well mostly today I quilted while she did the grunt work. We are also a good team at getting in trouble in fabric stores, at quilt shows...ect. Now, I have never attended a show with her but have managed to spend 100's of dollars while she attended!! I told her she is not allowed to go to another show for a long time. It is waaayyyy too hard on my checkbook! UUURRGGHHHH!!!! I tried to post the pictures I just spent time finding of the threads ect. but blogger is acting punky!

We managed to get the entire Mary Engelbreight quilt finished.....despite me. I was a bit distracted. I am leaving tomorrow to go Ohio. My dad has to have some tests and a possible procedure so I'm going to be with him and my siblings. I will bind and post photos of the quilt when I return.
