My Longarm and I!

I've been encouraged about using my longarm the last few weeks...I've been watching You Tube videos/tutorials on free motion longarm quilting every morning when I take my walk and I think some of it is starting to sink in! So I decided it's time to just 'go for it' and get that longarm a stitchin....I've been having fun! This is the wool table topper that came from Kim Diehl's book 'Simple Appeal'...I enjoyed quilting it, and experimenting as I went along.

Karmon's table runner all done! I did a geometric pattern on this one which I think I will do on the baby quilt for my new grandson when he's born. It's also a circle quilt. I'm happy with how this one turned out.
This is 'Snow Days', a pattern by CrabApple Hill...I've had this top done for a few years, but just never have gotten it quilted before now, hopefully it will turn out good enough to enter in the county fair.
January and February  from Buttermilk Basin...these are shown in the pattern as small wall hangings and one for every month...I think I'm going to put them all together and make a large wall hanging/small quilt. I think I'll embroider under each one of them, the month they represent.











 The 9th block in the 'Summer Gatherings' wool quilt by Lisa Bonjean....This is fun! Only 5 more months to go until it's finished...
Happy Quilting!
