It's Monday! I'm sew thankful for waking up to a beautiful new day! I have 5 quilts in my queue. Last week was full of cleaning and putting up boxes in the new house. We still have our full household shipment to come, so I'd better get busy before it gets here and I'm pulled away from quilting again!

I hope your Monday is full of things to be thankful for!

Thankful. For grace. For life. For blessings. Very thankful that the longarm seems to be working wonderfully after this latest move.

This wonderful panel quilt will go to a dear friend as she fights cancer. I hope it will keep her warm and remind her of those that love her and are praying for her.

Gail's second quilt was finished last night, but I had to wait till this morning so you could see this awesome black, white and yellow quilt in the glorious morning light!

This quilt was a joy to quilt out since it was super square and pieced really well! We chose Alfalfa by Sarah Ann Myers as the quilting design. This was my first time using this design and it's definitely going to be a go-to as it stitches out wonderfully!

My favorite fabric in Gail's quilt was definitely the Ginko leaves. It reminded me of my trip to South Korea 4 years ago. (Swipe through to see it close up!)

I'm hoping to get a couple more quilts on the frame before we have to pack it up once more for the move to Jacksonville, Al in a couple of weeks. We're getting pretty good at breaking it down and putting it back together again...but I'm ready to be somewhere for a good while!!

I always like to remember my 3rd great grandfather

I always like to remember my 3rd great grandfather, Zenal Chauncey Lamb, on this date. He was mortally wounded on July 3, 1863 during Pickett's Charge in Gettysburg and died on the following day. A true Patriot!

He left a wife and 3 small children aged 5, 3, and 6 mos. My 2nd great grandfather was the 5 year old.

We all have so many stories and so many journeys of people behind us that can't be seen at the surface. America is that same way...it's a journey and one I think that gets better with age. I'm proud of my country and the progress we've made along this experiment. It's a patchwork quilt that has aged, and some areas need fixing, but there's value in that quilt story!

Happy Birthday America! 🇺🇸

I just love to watch Millie stitch out beautiful quilting designs on beautiful quilts!

Gail has been working hard and had THREE quilts ready for me to put on the longarm this week! I can't wait to show all of them to you!

This quilt is getting the lovely Marmalade quilting design made by Patricia Ritter and Leisha Farnsworth!

Another plus is that I'm using Hab N Dash's Glide thread in Cool Grey 7. It matches perfectly with the shiny grey in the purple material, but because of its shine it reflects the purple and blue colors on the quilt to help it blend when you have multiple colors.

Look for more quilty goodness coming soon!

It's National Sewing Machine Day today! I love my vintage Kenmore and my APQS Millie even though my Babylock Ellisimo Gold is my daily sewing machine.
I'm thankful for the many years that my mother sacrificed and saved to buy her dream sewing machines as a single mother. When she bought a new machine I would get her "old" one. She would be amazed at what I have now. I know I'm blessed!

This quilt is finally getting finished today! After taking the whole weekend looking for houses, then being sick for 2 days, and thunderstorms yesterday evening I'm so happy to be putting Julie's @hinzjul second quilt on the frame and getting it done!
.

Julie made this Quick and Easy Christmas Quilt by @giucy_giuce with fabrics from Tula Pink's @tulapink Holiday Homies line. We chose a light gray Glide thread from @habanddash and white 80/20 batting from @quiltersdream to finish the look.
.

I just love getting to see what my customers make and then having a small part to play in helping them accomplish their quilting vision!

Holy texture, Batman!! Julie Hinz @hinzjul chose this wonderful pantograph called Swirls and Bubbles by Nancy Haacke of Wasatch Quilting @wasatchquilting that gave this beautiful quilt some awesome texture!

This is one of two quilts made by Julie that she sent to me to finish on the longarm. The quilt pattern is called "The Wall" by Melissa Corry @happyquiltingmc. The lovely fabric she chose was a layer cake of Hazelwood by One Canoe Two @onecanoetwo. She chose to back it with a soft green minky dot...click through to see the fabulous texture on the back too!

I'll be sewing on the binding she sent to the front this evening and then I'll be putting her next wonderful quilt on the frame...so stay tuned to the same bat channel to see some more quilty awesomeness!

I'm so thankful for my local quilt guild! They let me have this quilt to play with as it will be a raffle quilt sometime next year. I needed a quilt to practice on after the move from the big house to an apartment, especially after some of the challenges we had getting it apart and then put back together.
I'm happy to report that it's working great! I couldn't have done it without the wonderful support of my husband @dadgoneonatrail and APQS in Iowa and Washington!
