Cute huh?Hubby and I took the grand kids back to Waco a week ago last Friday...today is Sunday...Then we headed on to Plano for Quilt Plano 2014... Wow!!! A couple hundred quilts to see...and about 45 or so vendors...Did I have fun? Yep! Did I spend money? Yep! But not too much, because from the show in Plano, we drove a few miles north on Hwy 75 and visited Linda's Electric Quilters in McKinney! There's where I spent some money! Several circle rulers, a micro handle set, some cones of thread, and two rolls of batting later we left....poorer in money, and richer in tools of the trade, so to speak! I just happen to have a picture or two of a baptist fan pattern that I tried out on a Project Linus quilt kit I was given at the show to sew up the top and then quilt it.. I couldn't wait to try out those rulers! They are great... A little learning curve, but very doable! Then I had to try out the micro handles... They are totally awesome, folks, I kid you not!!! I used them to outline eagles in flight on a whole cloth couch quilt that has an outdoorsy scene all over it... I really loved using those handles! I was amazed how much easier it made everything, even the wind sweep quilting behind the eagles. Ok, I'm hooked on them!
Circle ruler work on Project Linus quilt. Next is pic of full quilt.
Cute huh? Bound and ready to go!
A close up....next a larger view.
This one isn't bound yet...
This is one was done a few weeks ago without the micro handles.
It's a Coca Cola retro design...
Having a Blast!
