I got a quilting frame and quilting machine for Christmas and I'm absolutely in love with it. It makes quilting the tops of quilt allot more enjoyable than trying to do it on a regular sewing machine. I wish I could afford the $10K setup with a real long arm and automated quilting but I can't and this setup works just fine. I can always make it automated but for now I think I will pass. I really love to make quilt tops but even with this setup, quilting the tops is still my least favorite. I'm trying to finish some of the quilt tops that I have done and not make more till I finish one. So far I've finished 3 quilt tops that I had done before I got my frame and 1 quilt top that I just made. I also have one new quilt top on the frame ready to be quilted. I plan on turning on the music and having a couple margaritas while quilting tonight so I can add another one to my stack of finished quilts, that way I can make some quilt tops:) The first quilt pictured is done with Sandi Henderson prints from her Ginger Blossom and Farmers Market line. I used Hip to Be Square pattern by Busy Bee Designs. The second quilt was one of the first quilts I made using a baby quilt book by Alex Anderson. I used some old Amy Butler prints to make this one. The third quilt was made using scraps from Sandi Henderson's Ginger Blossom and Farmers Market print, I didn't use a pattern just did a crazy quilt. The last one was made with Patty Young's Andalucia fabric using Miss Molly from Abbey Lane Quilts.
