Hi everyone - I'm Kristy, live in NC north of Charlotte. I'm married with 2 girls, 4 grandchildren, 2 boxers and 8 chickens. We are new to chickens but I'm loving it so far. I love to quilt, in fact we are in the process of finishing our above garage bonus room for all my quilting stuff. I have a longarm machine, and a variety of other machines. I'm really looking forward to this swap - and I love the block.
Rusty~Your quilts are fabulous!! Your GD will love it! My late MIL made quilts for all the grandkids on their gaduation. My kids still have and treasure them. So how does a long arm work. Do you program the pattern into the machine and it just does it, or do you manipulate the quilt? And I think you are doing great on your fmq! It looks just like a bumblebee! Can this be done on a long arm?I finally got my Have To Do quilting done, this is for GD graduation
the wind kicked the quilt up so you coould see the backside.
A close up of the Long armers great work on this
I also did one of the Five and Dime quilts denim for the back, quilted it on my Viking and did some fmq in the corners. It is supposed to be a bumblebee.( I'm Trying)
I have you down now, sorry I missed youKats did you count me in? I think we have 14 now

ok you have been in enough swaps I know you are getting a stash, so go and sew them together don't worry about sashing, get lots of safety pins and sandwich your top, pin and stitch in the ditch, that is just stitching a straight line in where the blocks come together and around the pattern in the block. Google it, I think every quilter starts with that one and then your confendence is built from there, don't worry about mistakes, you will see them but no one else will. ok so what blocks are you going to put together first? When you get that far let us know and we will talk you through the binding, your just worried you will mess up your beautiful block but really you won't, trust me!!!and to our block swap!!! Chickens are fun!!Ditto what katsdar said, Pics please, of your quilt room when finished! I need to go see how a longarm works. I'm probably the only one on this thread that doesn't quilt!!I have labeled myself "The Block Maker"!! I love making and receiving the blocks, but I have yet to put one together!!I think if I lived closer to some of you all, I may get interested in the quilting process! I'm definitely not a hand quilter! No patience for it.
