    Thanks! Hope you are having fun at the Olympics! Wow! I was so impressed with the ice dance team from Canada - what a wonderful performance!

    My thoughts exactly!!
    Diamonds are you show but.....a longarm is for life & therapy!! :-D

    Quilt show is the best place to test drive all the different LA's
    Hoping one is in your future!!

    I love the quilting technique you did, did you have a quilting bar for your machine so you could keep the lines equal distance apart

    That is truly one, awesome quilt. Simple and yet very masculine. The colours are great! Your quilting and piecing is very, very good. First Quilt hmmmmmmmm, I think you have been practising LOL!

    Keep up the good work, Dianne

    Hi! I stitched in the ditch for the initial quilting. Then I used masking tape for the next lines intersecting the diamonds. Then I could take all the pins out and marked the lines with a Clover fine point white marker. Sounds like a "quilting bar" would have been easier...?? I'm not sure what that is but it sounds good!
