This is my official quilt tester. All quilts made by me have received the official “stamp of approval” by our in-house quilt tester, “Joey”.

Another UFO finished!

I finished hand sewing the binding on this quilt last weekend.

This quilt finished 75″ x 84″ and was machine quilted on my long arm with concentric circles – 208 circles and 36 half circles in all. The borders were quilted with a clam shell pattern.

This is a heavy, warm quilt with a flannel back and Warm and Natural batting.

This is what we woke up to last Sunday morning. It started snowing late Saturday afternoon and continued all through the night.

…………………..just when we thought winter was over.

The good thing is that the snow had all disappeared by the end of the day Monday. Hopefully, this is the last snow storm of the season.

This was a panel that I bought at Wal Mart and quilted on my long arm for practice. I finished the binding last weekend. This quilt will now be donated to our local quilt guild’s We Care program. This was the first time that I used the Spiral template for my long arm.

I am finally back to my computer! We had a nasty virus invade our computer and embed itself in Windows so deep that the only way to remove it was to completely erase the hard drive.

My son is the local computer expert in our house – he is in his second year of his IT degree – so he took on the challenge. However, between his two jobs and school it proved to be a very lengthy process.

The Internet is a very wonderful and exciting place, but we must remember that we share the playground with some very unfriendly and devious people who are only on the playground to prey on unsuspecting victims – or in this case, computers!
