Joan; I am a former Cornhusker - in fact, don't want to relinquish that title even- though I have been a Hoosier for quite a long time - anyhow, do you do your quilting with just a regular sewing machine or do you have a long-arm quilter? I love what you have done on your quilts. I just really need to know. ;-) TIA Marlys in Indiana

OT: And Happy 3-11 Day to you! If you know someone who is interested, there's a video conference tomorrow on the band's website that is great fun. Check

Yes, that quilt is for Aaron. I know he's going to love it! (Can you tell I'm on a 'quilting high'?)

I do have a Handi-quilter and a Brother 1500, but use that mostly for small wallhangings and utility baby quilts. This one was done on my Pfaff 7530. Nothing special. A size 80 sharp needle. I did have to pay attention to tension (upper and bobbin) when I switched from rayon to metallic to heavier quilting thread. I love the freedom of trying new things. And I do have to remember that in quilting, as well as yoga and Pilates, one needs to remember to breathe. I take frequent breaks from MQ, checking the internet, of course!

joan p.s. Now a Cornhusker, but originally from Louisville Ky and spent several years in Sparta Indiana (near Cincinnati) and New Palestine (near Indianapolis).

That is one cool quilt. Great work!

Nice quilt. I just love it!

Carole

I'm speechless! Great job, Joan!

Joan, what a beauty that is! (No pun intended, honest!) It's gorgeous -- I love NYB anyway, but yours is exceptional, and I really like the "sampler" of quilting motifs you used. Great job! :)

That is wonderful, Joan. If Pat Winters tries to claim it because she USED to live in NY, just remember some of us STILL do live here!

Aw, thank you all so much. I'm smiling all over!
