My top nine for 2020! Thanks for the memories 2020...Here's to a wonderful 2021!!

What a year 2020 has been!! Here I am finally bind

What a year 2020 has been!! Here I am finally binding the Meadowland quilt I finished in mid-February. It's a Christmas gift that will go out in the mail this week. (Don't judge! 😉 )

I had a great year of quilting the quilts that you brought me, sent me, or my husband @dadgoneonatrail picked up! Thanks for trusting me with your projects @mclainc21 @denisefortson @syblebailey25 @robyn_shreve @appalachiensis @hinzjul and a few of you that aren't on Instagram! I quilted 17 quilts this past year!! Not bad for this COVID-19 year with so many twists and turns! We moved out of our house to an apartment and put 3 contracts on different houses in NE Alabama and finally moved to Jacksonville in July.

If you look beyond my sewing machine you'll see my Longarm League banner (thanks Jess @longarmleague)! I count myself lucky to catch a post by Jess last year in June or July about a new group she was starting for longarm quilters. I signed up without even owning a longarm! I knew I would be getting one and felt gaining knowledge would be doing "something" while waiting for the longarm to come. That was one of the best things I decided to do!! I've learned so much and can't wait to learn more. If you are a longarm quilter, look for an announcement soon as the next enrollment period will be coming up!

Happy New Year to you all! I pray that 2021 brings you peace, love and happiness! And I pray you find opportunities to bring peace, love and happiness to those around you!

Christmas quilts just speak cozy to me! My quilty

Christmas quilts just speak cozy to me!

My quilty friend Syble made this cute 9 patch with Christmas fabric scraps. The scrap fabric had metallic threads intertwined in many of them and gave it a great sparkle!

We chose a cute snowflake pantograph called Winter Wonderland by Barbara Becker to tie it all together. The backing was a cute snowman pattern. And the batting was Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 bleached to help keep that white fabric looking snow white!

So many quilts I've been working on lately are Christmas presents and I haven't been able to post them...so after Christmas I'll have many more quilts to show!

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

There's a lot of fun happening in this adorable quilt! Fun colors, fun pantograph, fun fabrics, fun texture and sew. much. fun. taking this quilt off the leaders!

This is one of my quilty friend Gail's creations. Aren't her fabrics so cute?? We chose the adorable pantograph called Pretty Paisley by Benay Derr to compliment the movement seen in some of those darling prints. It shows up so wonderfully on the minky backing, don't you think?

It's going to be so great for some lucky little girl! Great job @mclainc21!

Swipe through to watch me take it off of my leader! That is the real fun part! I put my quilt backings on with staples and they just pull off so fun!

Creativity...sometimes I just need to create for m

Creativity...sometimes I just need to create for myself!

I had an idea that maybe I could use my flip flop foot as a couching foot and make some fabric that would match my living room rug from Ruggable that I could then use to make pillows for my couches.

I chose some fluffy yarn in 4 colors from Hobby Lobby and some off white linen fabric from their interior fabric section and set out on my creative quest.

At first I chose a swirly design on my computerized longarm...which was a fail. But, not being deterred, I chose a curvy line pattern and adapted Dawn Cavanaugh's method of couching to my computer (@dawnmcavanaugh ). In her APQS instructional video she manually zigzags over the material to be couched. I moved the yarn in a zigzag motion while the computer and machine stitched. I made sure to slow down the speed and sure enough it worked!! (For those who have messaged me, I added a short video of the process to my highlights so you can see it in action.)

Once I get the pillow covers finished I'll post the final project!

What are you creating???

I've had this cute little quilt in my queue for a while and was finally glad to get it on the frame! I mean, it's adorable, right??

My quilty friend @denisefortson has done it again! I love the periwinkle and chartreuse color pairing, not to mention the cute swans and horses. Swipe through to see them close up! Don't miss the beautiful batik backing as you swipe!!

We chose the wonderful Marmalade pantograph by Patricia Ritter and Leisha Farnsworth @leishakaye to add to the darling feeling of this adorable quilt! Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 batting and Glide thread in white by Hab+Dash tie it all together!

Great job Denise!!

Got my Kenmore 1030 today! I can't wait to use her as my one of my quilt retreat machines! My Ellisimo Gold ll is just too big and heavy to bring and my plastic Singer died on me last weekend.

She's adorable! Welcome to the family, Rosie!!

My quilty friend Denise sent me this quilt that will get the honor of being a wedding gift for her nephew. I'll tag @denisefortson once she gives this beautiful Abbey Road quilt to the happy couple!

We chose the pantograph design "Merge" by Jess @threadedquilting through the @longarmleague. I think it matched perfectly with the @debbie_maddy quilt pattern that Denise picked up from @jordanfabrics. Swipe through to see the beautiful batiks in jewel tones - the colors are seriously good!!

I wish I had a super quilty aunt like Denise!! What an awesome labor of love!
