I belong to a Machine Quilting guild. It's open to anyone who machine quilts: DSM (domestic sewing machine), shortarm, midarm, longarm. If you are within driving distance to Spokane, and are interested in this guild, PM me.

This year we have a challenge to show how quilting makes the quilt. All of us are using the same fabrics and same pattern. Just the quilting is different.

Although the rules allow us to paint, dye, and applique, I have chosen to treat this as I would a customer quilt. Ok, this would cost some $$$ (it took forever!), but I would do it!

The quilts will be show at the WSQ show in Spokane this October.

I can't post this on my blog or machine quilting sites - some of the others in the guild are there - this is a challenge, so SHHHHH!!!

Quilting really does make the quilt! You did outstanding on this quilt, I love it! Very creative and really accentuates the piecework, nicely done! :D
