Kathy -
I think I'll pass on the "pliecelique" for now... I guess I sort of did something like it for my RR 2011 - I had no pattern for the first section I took from a picture of Edyta Sitar's fence quilt. I planned it out and pieced the background and then cut the background apart, cut fenceposts and machine stitched the straight part til I got to a curve - then I hand stitched that part. |

I would highly recommend it if it is in your budget. The quilt studio I used required a class too, but it was very infomative and hands on, a lot of fun, she gave us zipper sets and instructions on how to prep the quilt, how to load and then tips for free hand quilting. I enjoyed the class a learned a lot ( did you know there is a right side and worng side for batting!!! Now I know). This particular quilt studio rents by the hour but if you rent for the full day you get a free lunch hour to take a break and what not, trust me, if you do all over free hand work, it hardly takes any time, and with the quilt on a zipper when you get to the place, it takes less than ten minutes to put it on and then off you go. I got to the studio at 0900 am, by the time I chatted, used the restroom, loaded my big queen bargello and quilted it, I looked at the clock and it was 1130!!! yes, I thought I died and time stopped, this is a 102'' square bargello quilted in 2.5 hours if that...I did use simple design, but it turned out neat if I may say so myself. Can you tell I am really excited with my find, lol?

Then, of course, I would also have to raid my savings to buy the frame in the first place, and I don't think I can justify it to myself. Perhaps what I need is a sugar daddy! |
