The girls are quilting....

Decided that they needed a little work out on the APQS long arm quilting machines, so off we went to the showroom Allée de la Mercerie in Vendargues and as you can see Lenni and Lucy had a great work out !!!

We will be at it for at least four weeks... Hope all the girls get their butterfly quilt done... It's a pattern from JoAnne Hoffmann... beautiful... 




 Of course we needed some energy and off to the restaurant...

good times !!!




Great day :-)

    Today I can say "thirty years in waiting"  is finished I had made a queen size quilt with these fabrics and I missed it so that I had started another but put it away for a rainy day.    So happy that I found the box many years later and was able to get it finished at last!! A nine patch or simple irish chain, so off I went with my box, and this is what it turned into.... I am so pleased, and it is big enought to use on the dining room table. I have a few squares left, maybe enought to make a place setting or something. The quilting design is from My Creative Stitches  Monday Patch Vacation time is over and we are back to our art!! Two of the gals have finished their giant wedding ring, one is ready to be quiltied and another is alread to go on the table.  Quilting in lines, it turned out really nice. Another double wedding ring but traditional  still lots of pieces to sew, but it is going to be beautiful ! Someone is starting her birds, ravens...
