Long Time No Blog...

Wow... hard to believe I haven't touched this blog for over a year... Well, that's how it goes sometimes.

Finishing up a quilt for my son's silent auction... Klein HS Choir Chorale. Fund Raising for their trip to sing at the National Cathedral in March. It is lovely. Here's photo of the design...

I'll try to post a copy of the work in progress. It is to be machien quilted on my DSM (domestic sewing machine), in an allover pattern over the triangle squares, and with a feathered star pattern around the border. Will quilt in free motion technique using my Singer 15-91... she doesn wonderful work. Size is 73 x 73. It grew from my original 60x60 size, when I decided the triangles were too small to easily be signed by the kids. All 66 choir members and director are included!!
This is my first quilt designed with Electric Quilt and I am very happy with the process.

Well, it is Monday, and have some Ebay sales to deal with, and need to get that quilt pin basted up! I'll try to get back to my weblog more frequently!
