Welcome Millie!

February 7, 2014Uncategorized

Monday was Millie’s first day as a member of my quilting team.  Let me tell you she is the sweetest thing!  I tell her what to do and she does it!  You just can’t beat that.  I so love the computerized quilting I can do with her.  And when I want to switch to hand guiding her–she puts up no resistance.  Mmmmm.  Quilter’s heaven.

I have one more piece of muslin that we will practice on, then it will be on to a real quilt.  The quilt is ready to go, and I have selected a design.  How exciting!  It is a quilt top that was started when our quilt group, the Cedar County Piecemakers, were demonstrating techniques for beginning quilters.  It is a simple rail fence quilt, which has been sitting here, completed, for probably a couple of years.  Just like the carpenter who doesn’t get his own house finished, longarm quilters don’t always get their own quilts quilted–at least not timely.    So hi ho, hi ho, off to the studio I go!
