I'm going to finish a couple quilts this weekend and hopefully do some embroidery. I would like to try out the AcuFil function on my 11000. My husband has been itching for me to try so he can see how well it works.

I have a small quilt I made for practicing a quilting pattern then a larger quilt that will be using that pattern. I appliqued a celtic knot on the border, thinking I measured twice, sewn once? NOT. The knot is 4" off center. Last night I removed the border, today will center it then I want to quilt it. So far, the little one is loaded on my HQ 16 and waiting to go (here I sit). I also had to rip and replace the borders on that one as I really hated what I'd chosen. That will be a Project Linus quilt. The bigger one (about 70x70) is a gift for my personal trainer and I really want it gifted already!

I made 10 pinwheels blocks today. I find it so much easier if I cut several at a time, then piece in a assembly line fashion. I do a lot of pressing along the way. When cutting those out I am also cutting dresden plate pieces at the same time. I haven't started sewing them yet but will when I get a lot of them cut. They are easy to do with the dresden plate ruler.

Ok, will try this again, new to all this still. Lost what I just typed, so if it does post, sorry......I see u like the dresden and pin wheels, me too. Have bought a few patterns with both and in my books. Being new to this I really want to tackle these blocks!!.... New to the board and new to quilting but not afraid to tackle things. So if I have any questions, can I ask you......I am so excited about the board and everyone is so nice and there to help..... :roll:
