One Hundred!

This is quilt number one hundred for me to quilt on my HQ 16!  We bought the machine in August 2010 so it is 10 months old.  The pastel pineapple is quilted with all over feathers in the center, smaller all over feathers in each corner and a long continuous feather in the small green border. I love it!

Now on to binding!

A small Thank You!

Several months ago I purchased a rather large (10 1/2 foot!) curved church pew.  It was a beautiful antique!  It took an unexpected tumble off the trailer, however, and was in a terrible state!  My brother in law worked his carpentry/refinishing magic and put Humpty Dumpty back together again even better than new!  As a very small token of my appreciation I have made him this scrap quilt.  I chose the pattern we call the Million Squares to represent the million pieces of splintered wood he reassembled.  Thank you thank you, Craig!  (The pattern is actually Bonnie Hunter's Many Scrappy Trips Around the World)

The pew is destined for the quilt shop so you can hopefully come and sit here and ponder great family here... and maybe dream up a new quilting project too!
