I've been a quilter for 10 years. I've made one Hawaiian Quilt. But I love to machine quilt. I have three sons and one daughter, two grandsons. I have many to quilt for :D .

I own a Viking SE and I just purchased the mega quilter. I was wondering if any of you own one. I haven't had the time to play with it yet.

The attached is a table runner I just made. I embroidered the roses and quilted the runner using the SE.

I have enjoyed reading your tips and looking at your beautiful work.

Hope to hear from some of you soon :)

Thank you for sharing, and Welcome! (I just joined today as well.) I have an older machine (Husqvarna Rose) but it works so great that I won't part with it. I have recently been combining embroidery and quilting and having a great time with it... I use a HandiQuilter16 to put everything together. Anyone want to see? :lol:

Welcome and thanks for the picture! Will we be able to see your Hawaiian Quilt? I've only done the 12" square ones. :)

Thankyou all for the warm welcome!! My Hawaiian Quilt is made up of 20 inch squares. Each square is a Hawaiian flower or plant. I thought I would start out this way and if I enjoyed it I would make a quilt using only one pattern. It is quite work intensive , very slow going, but you hand quilters would know that. I enjoy the finish product, but it takes way to long for me. I do intend to make one some day. Hope you like the pictures.
