Hi, I just started peicing about 4 yrs ago and bought a Little Gracie II and a Juki TL98Q about 2 months ago and began quilting my tops.

Giving these away as Christmas presents. I'm very proud of myself and can't wait to start a new batch of quilt tops!

Thanks for looking and I can't wait to make new friends that quilt. I don't have anyone locally to chat quilts with :)

Beautiful and colorful quilts... I really like the log cabin and stars quilt.

Lovely quilts!! I especially love the French Braid! How are you finding the combo of the Little Gracie and the Juki? Is it a good compromize for those who can't afford or don't have room for a regular LA?

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!

All your quilts are beautiful

desertrose 12-20-2010 02:39 PM

Your quilts are lovely and I can relate to needing a bigger room to work in and the cost of buying new quilting machines. Let me know where you find your money to expand or buy new machines...LOL My money plant is growing live crazy but my wallet isn't any fatter.

All your quilts are beautiful, but I also love the log cabin and stars quilt best. Did you use a pattern for this one or do you design your own.

nannya54 12-21-2010 05:44 AM

I LOVE the apple core and french braid!!!!! I've tried the apple core in the past, but for some reason I couldn't make it work. Yours turned out awesome!!!

The pattern came from a Christmas quilts book that we used in a class a couple of years ago. I will find the book and try to label the quilts when I get home tonight.

Thank you all for your very kind words!
