I'm Back!
 
Older and wiser, overcoming some family tragedies, still sewing, now have 5 machines; 2 Babylok Imagines, one Babylok Quilters Pro, Bernina 1230, Bernina Artista 180. Amazing how we introduce ourselves through our machines!

Hi to Ube Quilting, Anoka Quilter, Rhonda, Patrice J and I am so sorry I've been away!

Welcome back! I know how good it feels after I was gone for a year or two...

Welcome back, you will find old friends and a passel of new ones too. I was thinking that you had quite a list of machines, then I began to think. I have four. Stitch on and share with us photos of your accomplishments and progress.

Projects I did
 
Like everyone else, I was a mask maker during COVID - but to honor all of us I made a wall hanging that is at Yale New Haven Hospital. Its a reminder that everyone is a hero, even for one day.

The blue and white one was made for my MiL in Greece. Look close and you can see the sea life I quilted into the blocks. My MiL lives on the island of Rhodes and is lucky enough to live right on the Mediterranean.

The Churn Dash and the Log Cabin were done for a colleague at work. Her mom made the blocks but was unable to complete the quilts before she died. Her mom was so talented!

The pink quilt was made from a sari. I made it for my daughter's in-laws.

The scrap block quilt was made from all of the concept blocks that I had saved up.

And lastly, I made the quilt ladder from old machine bobbins that I found in a place called Mongers in Bridgeport CT. that was a fun one!

Welcome back JNCT! I, too have been gone for a while (7yrs). Not due to tragedy, but computer issues. I've got a few sewing machines as well. You and I have the Bernina 1230 in common! I hope I'll be able to continue to comment and view things in here again.

Happy to have you back amount us! It sounds like you’ve been busy and productive in spite of the detours life often presents us with.

Welcome back!

I can't see the pictures. The descriptions make me want to see them.
