Well---Finally!!!!!!

I have been having quite a time with my free motion quilting. The thread keeps breaking. I spent our whole meeting Tuesday trying to find out what was wrong—Then I replaced a new needle with another new -same size -needle and that seemed to do the trick. It is now working beautifully

My flower garden is finished!!!.............................................



and I used some of our donated lace, which I painted green with our watercolor paint.

We had a lot of fun at the meeting. Bonnie and Renee were adventurous and tried the watercolor painting, to make their own fabric piece. Beautiful work—They each made several. They took them home to work on there and when they bring them back I will get pictures. Those not working on the watercolor pieces brought pieces they had started and were working on them

Everyone that came brought pieces to show and tell—I got lots of pictures and will post them a few at a time for us all to enjoy.

Bonnie's beautiful quilt at her quilting machine............................wow!!!..........................


Please post comments if you would like. I'm sure Bonnie would love to hear from you.

You have to sigh up for a goggle account to be able to post. It only involves an email address and password.

Perhaps you have a new technique or project you would like to share with us. Or is there something you want to learn? Maybe someone in our group could help.

Renee has a project for us --She want to show us how to emboss on velvet!!!

How beautiful is this pillow !!!!.......................................................


Lots going on here.
Please keep checking back for new posts and pictures.

Back to Quilting!!! Take care all,
Judy

Hi Judy,
I love your garden, it's funny how a new needle can solve all sorts of problems.
Renee looks a very talented lady. The colour of the cushion is gorgeous. Would it be possible to see a close up of the long arm quilting?

Hi Sis!

Wow, I'd like to make both the lovely quilt and the pillow. Maybe I could join the group through Skype!

Your pillow is lovely! I wish I didn't live so far away from all this fun going on at your house.

Can't wait to see what you guys do next!
