At new years I cleaned my long arm, I had been having some tension issues and figured it might need a good cleaning regardless, so I got out rubbing alcohol, paper towels and canned air! see how dirty the towel got from just rubbing down the rails in the back! I also cleaned the grooves …
Before Christmas I quilted a few quilts. This one is a donation quilt from my quilt guild. I got out Leah Day’s book and tried this petal design, though it’s tricky to long arm quilt it since it was meant for the domestic machine, but once I got a rhythm going, it was okay. (it’s …
Since I often pre schedule my posts and I am just showing a few projects and blocks that are done. First, this is the Women of the bible block ESTHER! since my blocks are 3” finished I had to remove some lines on this one and simplify the block, apart from the center, I think …

When I went to my quilt guild and met about our BOM’s for next year, they were talking about donation quilts and how they need more quilters. I used to grab some once in a while, but it had been a long time- or so I thought, so I grabbed 4, here’s the first 2 …
I’m thrilled to be part of another Accuquilt Go! die blog hop. When I received the “list” of BOB dies, I narrowed down to a few dies and then finally selected the log cabin die by Leslie Main. Normally I don’t pick a die that’s just squares or rectangles, but I must say I was …
