Last week was busy! Or maybe I should say busy for me. Aside from some yardwork, housework, and driving a friend to the hospital for hand surgery (at 7 a.m.) I also attended a Handi Quilter 3-day hands on longarm quilting event. OMG - it was intense, very informative, and wonderful! Very hands on. The experience levels of the other participants varied from no machine quilting at all to experienced long arm quilters. I was probably in the middle.
Other than a session on the Handi Quilter Pro Stitcher (which I skipped), the event covered long arm machine quilting basics, different types of feet, free motion quilting including basic shapes, gridwork, backgrounds and fillers. AND (insert happy dance) ruler work safety and basics. I love using rulers! I can't wait to load my next quilt.
I did manage to get some work done on a few projects. I did some sewing and cutting on a guild community service quilt.

I cannot believe I am this late visiting. I always think Monday morn that the if I stay up late enough I will have your blog to visit. and a lot of times I check to make sure you have not posted. But I did not even check that night.
Anyway, in that first photo I see a couple fabrics I think I have had...one for sure.
I so am going to love Aunt Daisy...cannot wait to see it when you finish
The pin cushions are so cute. If I did not have felted wool pin cushions, I would be tempted to make one.
That sounds like a great class! The pincushions are adorable. Have fun with the PP!
