I have officially named my Longarm Quilting machine and Frame after my Grandmother “Julia”. The picture on the right was her quilting frame. I’m lucky enough to have it. I used hers last year to quilt an older quilt on it.

This is an update on a post from about a week ago. I finished the quilt I was working on. This quilt is going to be auctioned off at the American Daylily Society Annual Convention this coming up July. The lilies you see are winners from the past nine years. It has a sleeve at the top so the quilt can be wall hung. I think it turned out pretty good. I hope it brings them a lot of money!

My brother came by the studio yesterday and we worked on this baby quilt for his first grandchild. He is so excited and loved helping me make the quilt. It meant a lot to him to have been able to be a part of the creation of it. He even picked out the fabric and helped me at every step of the way, ironing to quilting it on the longarm.

Well I have spent the last two days hanging out with Oona. Spring break from school! We have made a Tutu for her rabbit and a pillowcase for her bed and two trips to the park! Great times.
