Did my first Quilt Block on an Embroidery Machine!!!
 

Just got home from the Bayou Embroidery University in Baton Rouge...2 days of like minded people doing what we love!!! I was amazed at how easy it is to do a quilt block (with the right designs) on an embroidery machine. I was a little intimidated by the 10 needle machine but I managed. I fell in LOVE with the Brother Quatro 3 though...was drooling all over it!!!

We learned so many things that I have now gotten re-inspired to finish UFOs and start new projects. One booth had the most gorgeous quilts done entirely by machine and another had quilted purses. Applique is SO easy with the embroidery machine!!

The Brother ScanNCut Machine was demonstrated and WOW, it was awesome!! Another thing to put on my wish list!!

The best thing was the "goodies" bag which we got to pick up at the end of the classes....man, oh, man, it included the Stipple pattern that we did and I LOVE it. Plus we got all the designs we worked on in class and some instructional CDs and one with 1000 designs on it!! When we checked in at Registration, we got a wonderful set of (NICE) scissors and other tools in a wooden case. WOW And the Registration Fee wasn't that much for the whole 2 days of classes!!

I'm exhausted from the trip (I live in MS) but it was well worth it!!

Pictures Please!!!

I had some pictures on my cell phone but alas it was "taken" at the convention center!! We could not locate it after an extensive search. My friend has some pics and I will get her to send me some to post!!

It sounds like such a wonderful time!

What a fun time!! How will you find the time to do all the things that are rambling around in your mind right now!

My friend emailed me a pic of the quilt square. I'm gonna try to post it here...[ATTACH=CONFIG]448069[/ATTACH]

Yeah...I did it!!! Old seniors CAN learn new things!!

If I do just a "few", it will be an accomplishment to me! Haven't touched my embroidery machine (or any machine since JUNE!) After my wreck, I've been even more in pain since it affected my Fibro AND I started having cluster migraines. Finally the meds are getting me "back to MY normal". It has really helped the Migraines!
