Hello There!!

It been a crazy day, I did get the quilt quilted and off the frame, I have a few wrinkles in it and I hope with pratice I will get better.
My quilter did great until half way the quilt then it started breaking thread, first on top and then the bobbin, UGH!!!! wears you out fightening with it.


Here is a picture of my quilter.

It's a KenQuilt 633...I'm so proud of it...It doesn't have a Stitch Regulator on it and I wish I had of gotten it, it's hard to keep your stitches the same...

The quilt that is on there is from a swap I was in on my group...It's called "Tutti-Fruity" , I have another a little smaller one this one......This one is 72"X86"..The 2 Tutti -Fruity quilts are for charity, when it's finished I will post a picture.
This is the wrinkle I had in there, if you are a long arm quilter, would you pass on some information on how not to get this....It doesn't look bad when It was took off the frame.


My sister will get it tomorrow and put the binding and label on it.
It was pretty warm here , so I might as well get used to a hot summer......

Well thats it for tonight...Have a peaceful sleep....from Frost (Frosty Bear) and Louise

(hehe, can you tell I love my babies?

Jeezs Can You Believe It?

Seriously, the month is almost over, and I find that I have all these things I want to get done in a month and before I know it the month just bit the dust...I find that as I am aging I just can't seem to get things done as fast as I want, do you feel that way?


I did get a quilt in the quilter frame and ready to start on tomorrow , also have the hubby's hair to cut, that has to be done first or we will have to take the lawn mower to it , hehe.
O.K. are you waiting for the next block in the Red and White Block of the Month?? well here goes..

HoooooRaaa !!!!

I was released from my Orthopedic Doctor today, Yes!! I still have to do the therapy but I can now do it at home and not have to go to the therapy building....

I've been wanting to quilt on my quilter but never fails when I think I can quilt a storm will come up and no way will I plug it in when it's storming...
Have a good night all.....

Another baby....Sheba Ann

I have been so busy with going to physical therapy and to the Doctors that I have not got to sew like I wanted to, so hopefully after next week things will let up....
