It is beautiful. I also hand quilt and then put my pieces together. You did a great job. They will love it.
wouaaaa tihs quilt is marvellous
I jus got back from there. My son and DIL live about 15 miles from there so I go often. You will want to go Yoders dept store. It's groceries, and hardware on one side and fabrics, and clothing on the other. They just expanded the fabric a few months ago. Another place is Lolly's fabrics in the Davis Mercantile building. On the main floor is the main shop and in the basement is the sale fabric. There is also a Bernina dealer that has a good selection of fabrics. Across from Yoders you can find an Amish shop. I'm not sure of the name, but it is right next to the hardware store. If you google quilt shops in Shipshewana you will find some of them There is also a quilt shop on SR20 going towards Middlebury. Maybe about 2 or 3 mile from Shipshewana. In a building behind the Amish house. They have a sign out by the road. Nice selection there. Middlebury has a quilt shop in the Essenhaus shops. Rise and Roll is a reastaurant on SR20 between Shipshewana and Middlebury. They have the best sandwiches on homemde bread. Great cinnamaon rolls also. Are you going to the quilt show in June? June 20-23 Sometimes a few of us get together for a meet and greet in the 5 and 20 restaurant. Google Shipshewana quilt show and find out that information.
That is so darn cute!
I went to Shipshewana a few years ago with my penfriend Pat who lives in Michigan. The best quilt shop was the Amish/Mennonite one - it was enormous. You shopped with a supermarket trolley!! I just didn't know where to start! Have a lot of fun.
I saved this to my profile so I could find it easier, trying to make a baby quilt.
Very nice, thanks for sharing.
I rent a Tin Lizzie 18, and this happens to me, store employees can't help much. But it seems to do better from left to right ONLY. This slows me down but it works. We checked and cleaned everything on that machine. I seem to be the only one that rents it. I have read somewhere that T/L seems to do this after about 5-7 quilts, that's where I am at. Good Luck.
I feel this may be in the stitch regulator. The mechanic says the encoders may be causing it, and is going to call in one day he's in the area. I hope it's soon as I can't offer quilting services till it's fixed. Otherwise I love the machine, it even sews with machine embroidery threads.
The quilt is beautiful, and you did a wonderful job on the quilting.
Wonder who took this photo of the six lil quilters when the cat was away? You gals are just tooooooooo cute. Mammi
I have had a Q snap for years and absolutely love it for hand work. I have a small 12x12 that I use for smaller pieces, but love my large one for larger quilts. There are a lot of innovations that have come out since I bought mine years ago. Now there are feet for the back legs that tilt the work surface toward you that make it easier to work, almost like a drafting table. There are also new straps that fit on the sides that hold up the work that isn't in the frame. Mine came out before that so my work kind of drags on the floor...
What a great idea to have all of the pictures together. Thanks, Cat-on-a-Mac!!
but, fortunately so far I've not had a problem with "Y" seams. Originally Posted by martha atha It looks to me that this block has a lot of "Y" seams. Debbie Tucker rulers has a wonderful ruler for making "Y" seams. It may be worth the investment.
