After seeing that I put on my old 33 rpm record of Janis Joplin. And tried to remember the 60's in S.F. Great job.

It is absolutely wonderful! I am sure it will bring many folks in for a visit.

Wonderful! It looks like a quilt that will do its job of keeping you warm and comforted and cheered too. Best of luck for a speedy recovery!

I thought the same thing Jan. Luck has nothing to do with it! Leslie has tons of talent....no luck needed unless it's for the bobbin to not run out in a bad place, etc. Best wishes for your replacement Leslie.

That free-motion is looking great Leslie. The quilt will look wonderful. Cheery is just what you need in the circumstances! It is bright and definitely eye-catching! Well done you. I was pleased to see those FM ideas. I really like the 'S's that become interlocking circles. I imagine you could actually quilt a straight line grid, instead of drawing it? I think I'll try that one. I do like it a lot. Thanks for sharing. . In message , Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. writes

Guaranteed to make you and everyone around you cheerful!

wow Leslie the quilt is amazing!

Good luck with the hip replacement, it makes me a bit nervous, I think I'm going to end up needing one at a relatively young age, I'm only 27 now! I'm seeing someone soon to try and see if we can get to the bottom of what is causing hip pain now, it shouldn't be arthritis at this stage, my PT thinks it's a labral tear, which I've just discovered is something that pretty much always requires surgery, so I guess hip surgery might happen sooner rather than later.

Whew! I have one corner of the center panel quilted- photo added to the free motion quilting link. I must have been insane- I chose a grid pattern of quilting to start off and had to backtrack and duck and dodge around all those horses. Ugh! The remainder of the center panel will be a sampler of different quilting patterns. We're off to church for Maundy Thursday services and then on to quilting the next section- blazes! (And I need the luck more for not making silly choices, not running out of bobbin midway thru a pattern, not running over my fingers, etc. I'm pretty okay with my skills and accepting that I'm a beginner at this stuff!

Ahhhh, Leslie, that quilt is so wonderful. It's easy to see that you are really enjoying your fine new SM. It is just so good to see you having a happy time with it. Polly

That is beautiful, Leslie! If I have to do hip replacement, I hope you will make me one of those!!! It would be worth doing hospital time to be able to fondle that quilt!

Wow, Leslie! You did great! The quilt is cheerful and happy -- perfect for a hospital stay -- and the quilting is *wonderful*! I love the Diane-shiko, especially. Great job! :)

So far - fantastic! I feel your pain with the stop and start - good idea to 'change horses in mid-stream' >gg< . In message , Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. writes
