Lucey just arrived


Recommended Posts

Made the decision to buy Lucey after the AQS QuiltWeek in Paducah.  Took a lesson with Angela Huffman in Louisville 3 weeks ago on her in-store Lucey to seal the deal.  Did all the quilting on this lap-sized quilt in about 2.5 hours that day, which convinced me to complete the purchase!  (My wife had done the blocks some years ago; I assembled the top before that lesson.)  As a practice quilt, I'm pretty amazed.

And then I just got the machine this week.  Here's my first at-home work, a practice piece for the border on another quilt that my wife already has waiting to go.  Thanks again to Angela for her class last week on feathers!

Looks like you have a bright future in quilting.  That's some beautiful work for a newbie.  Congratulations and I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Thanks for the kind words, all. I'm not a complete newbie, but don't have much experience yet. I've done six quilts so far: three pushed around on my wife's Bernina 440 that she uses to piece (for ten years), two rather frustratingly on a Bernina frame and Bernina 820 (which was a mistake to buy), and now this one on Lucey. I'm looking forward now to lots more, finishing the quilts my wife has been piecing.
