All these quilts are beautiful. My Granddaughter wants me to make her a quilt using the apple core pattern. Was it hard to put all those curves together without a lot of pukering? Did you use an acrylic pattern or make your own?

I am loving it! But then again, I dont' have anything to compare it too :lol: . I was never even brave enough to try quilting on just my sewing machine. The hardest part is that by the time I get to the end of a queen size quilt there really is just barely 4" of quilting room. So far I have only meandered and done some swirls (not sure what to call this..lol) on these quilts. Eventually I want to get some smaller panto's and try them.

I do need to invest in the stitch regulator in the near future. I think it will help when I venture into the pantos. And, if I ever have a bigger house with more room..AND the money to get it, I already can tell that I will move up to either a LA or a "longer" arm, Ha!

DO IT! You are so very talented ~ all your quilts are fabulous!

Those are some terrific quilts! I still have not gotten brave enough to figure out how to put my quilt pieces on the frame . Don't know why it seems like such a challenge. I need help of a patient experienced frame quilter.It is wonderful to see your beautiful quilts all done.

Your quilts are so beautiful. I hope that after only 4 years of quilting, something I make approaches such workmanship! Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful quilts!!!!! I see that you just purchased a Littlle Gracie. I just puchased the same and I am in the process of putting it together. I just wanted to find out from you if you had any trouble removing the rail from the grooves on the shelf. I am trying to replace the Crib rail with the Queen rail and I cannot get it off, tried everything. Have also e-mailed Grace Co for suggestions today, but no response yet. I am glad to see there are other quilters out there collecting tops to someday quilt!!! LOL..

janetter 12-21-2010 05:05 PM

Are you talking about the black V shaped strips that sit on the table edge that the carriage rides on? I think I used a pair of pliers to get a grip on it. Dont really remember now.

Your quilts are beautiful. I especially love the Maroon and Gold Apple Core. I was just thinking this morning how pretty those two colors are together, then came upon yours :) Hope you make plenty of friends here, I have no-one locally to chat with about quilts either. Maybe one of these days. Lots of nice people here though.

Keep up the great work!
