Here is a BIG customer quilt that I completed today!  When I say BIG, I mean BIG!  120 x 120!  Maxed out my frame but I think it turned out nicely!  Obviously, I couldn't get a picture of the whole quilt but you get the highlights!  This job came to me via another long arm quilter - Tiffanee Noack!  This quilt was too large for Tiff's frame so she called me to see if I could handle it!  We longarmers are happy to help out whenever we can!!!  Thanks Tiff!

Until next time,
Happy Quilting!

Here we are at the end of my first week of retirement!  It's been a busy week!!!

Day 2 was spent quilting 2 customer baby quilts!  One was a cute dinosaur flannel and the other a sweet panel!

Day 3 was another customer baby quilt - You & Me Always

And last but not least, days 4 & 5 is a customer queen size quilt!  I couldn't get a picture of the whole quilt but these are the highlights?  This is the Disappearing Hour Glass pattern that has been demonstrated online by Jenny Doan of the Missouri Star Quilting Company.  If you haven't already, be sure to check out Jenny's videos on UTube!!!

I know I won't be this productive all of the time, but it felt good to get these done!!!!
Happy Quilting!

Just finished a customer quilt on my first day of retirement!!!!

This is a Charlotte Angotti design called Palmetto!  Custom quilted to set off the design elements!

Good morning friends!

I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything new but as of this morning, I am starting a new chapter in life!

I have chosen to "self-retire" after 40+ years of getting up and going to work everyday!  November 1 (Friday) was my last day of work and I can honestly say, it was VERY strange not getting up at 0245 this morning to get ready for work!  It will be an exciting (and admittedly scary) adventure, but one I am looking forward to beginning, starting today!  I will be able to devote more time to my family, friends and quilting/sewing and all other things important to me, and am truly looking forward to it!

I will endeavor to be a better "blogger" and share more pictures and news!!

My first news release--I purchased a new long-arm in April at the Paducah quilt show!  I am now the proud owner of an APQS Millennium or "Millie" for short!  I am very happy with my new machine and am enjoying "getting to know her"!

My studio (aka the master bedroom or quilting room) definitely has a new look!

I hope you will join me in my new adventure and as always,

Happy quilting!!
