Dreams...............

I want one so badly...................





Isn't it beautiful. I want to learn how to free motion quilt on a large machine. I have taken a few classes and practice regularly on my normal sewing machine but I dream of this one. I thought that I would want a machine on a frame but if I am being practical I just do not have the room or money for one. Not that I have the money for this one yet either but I am saving every penny.

I love, love, love it. What do you think?

Bees..........

I belong to two Quilting Bees on Flikr, Bee White Black and Modern 12 Bee. They are made up of some great people and I am completing so many different blocks! I was behind on my Modern 12 Bee and needed to finish up for November - I am making a resolution to not be late again! Here is my block for November:
 Here is my one for January - I thought since I was so late for November, I better pick up my feet for January:


I think these are both going to make amazing quilts! Do you belong to any Bee's?

Block Beginning

Well Birdie Stitches has begun!!! I am so excited to get started. The first block is sooooo cute. I decided to go with the fabric that Little Miss Shabby suggested which is Sunkissed by Moda. It is a beautiful line. I went and purchased it from a quilt store that I often frequent and was very lucky since they had just got the line in! Here is a photo of the light grey fabric that I chose to go with it and my embroidery that I have picked up for the project:

Since I decided to go with Sunkissed for Birdie Stitches I thought that I would use Central Park  also by Moda for the Bloggers' Block-a-Palooza. Again I was so lucky because my quilt store only had one Fat Eighth package come in for Central Park. I also love, love, love the colors in this line and cannot wait for this BOM to start.
Well I better go find my hoop and get stitching....Happy stitching everyone!
