Mercedes, I have it and don't use it very often, but when I do need it for tiny stippling, I am VERY glad I do! -

I will be attending the show and vender mall, I'm not taking classes, if a dinner comes together, I will try to make it! Not sure which day I'll be going, it's all up in the air for me at this point. Hope I can make a few connections, next year I hope to take some classes and be there longer. -
Road to California show
Shar Schmutz replied to WW Quilter's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
Road 2 CA was fantastic! I saw the most amazing quilts, so many of them well beyond my modest skill level, and I enjoyed the vender mall. The quilts were outstanding, I believe this was the best show I have had the pleasure of attending. I did not take classes, not because I don't need them, especially after seeing the talent displayed at this show, I really don't know why I don't like taking classes. I finally gave up on taking pictures of the quilts and just enjoyed them. My husband, all round great guy, didn't tap his toes once waiting for me, he enjoyed the show as well and toted my p -
aack! what am i doing?
Shar Schmutz replied to newmillie2010's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
I ran into those opportunities for frogging quite a bit when I began custom quilting. I still do for that matter. I also learned bad words could be made to come out of my mouth, frustration and tears seemed to be my constant companion. I questioned my goals, why was I doing this to myself etc.etc. I called a well known local quilter and asked for a lunch date to discuss what I was doing wrong all the time. At the time I thought this quilter walked on water, she told me she has slip ups or opportunities for artistic license all the time and she cured herself by applying the 24 hour rule. -
A note to all of our Quiltazoid friends
Shar Schmutz replied to LindaJ's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
Heidi says it best.... -
Blessings and love coming your way! Ok at least one hug too!

Jim, I have quilt glide and would not be without it! Yes, the needle keeps moving, but it moves at a much slower rate than if you are in simple manual mode. It allows you just enough time to engage the brain for the next direction without the panic of having to move faster than you are comfortable. The best thing is the smoothness, a perfect blend of stitch regulation and manual mode. Heidi, I have both and bliss and glide, you will extend your quilting years by investing in both, especially with the type of quilting you do, they allow longer sessions without the arm, and neck fatigue.

I made it into Houston!!!!!!!!
Shar Schmutz replied to JenniferBernard's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
Congratulations! -
Linda, the cycle of life never stops, these events teach us to love and live while we can, and you are so right; if you love them, tell them! I agree you will know the correct time to give her last gift to her husband, I cannot imagine how difficult it will be to quilt her last quilt, but you will pour enough love into it to make it even more special for her husband and family. It is special of the guild to make a quilt of comfort for the family in such a short time is just another example what quilters can achieve through our shared art and what a wonderful family we are! Blessings and goo

Shar Schmutz replied to Shar Schmutz's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
Celebrate! "J " went home today! in a wheel chair still but home is HOME! She was so excited! She truly has everything figured out for cooking, getting in and out of bed, and all the daily things she needs to do. doctors feel she is healing well, but she still isn't allowed any weight on the leg. She is already figuring out how to get to her sewing machine! LOL. Thank you everyone for the positive thoughts and prayers for this special quilter! -
