Made this quilt for a vendor event. Found this loopy flower quilting pattern years ago on Youtube. Hope this makes someone happy. Now isn't why we make quilts?

Hi All, For those of you that are new to using a longarm and are struggling with tension, I posted a YouTube video on using the Towa gauge as a guideline to ease/understand tension problems . I hope this helps some newbies out there as my relationship with George certainly improved this past year when I started using a Towa .

Have you ever been to a "Blog Party"? I participated in a series that Bonnie Hunter did as part of her Celtic Solstice mystery quilt last fall. I found it was a great way to start blogging and provided a way for me to gain exposure for my quilting business. I had so much fun, so I decided I wanted to create one around the concept of "Quilting the Quilt". Over the next week, I am hoping that many of you will develop an idea (or ideas) on how you would quilt top I posted to my blog this week. (This is a quilt that has been languishing in my personal stack of unquilted tops for at least a decade.) From April 12-18th, post an idea on your blog and link to my blog. I'm really hoping you all come to my party! This week I am also offer a couple of mini-tutorials on how you can bring an image into either Art and Stitch or Electric Quilt as the start of your project. More information on all of this can be found at the following link. http://www.onpointquilter.com/1/post/2014/04/quilting-the-quilt-blog-party.html Hope to see you all soon.

Well, funny how things work out. A week ago I was ready to throw in the towel, tired, wore out, depressed at yet another move. Through a nice member of this forum I found an equally nice buyer for my beloved Freedom, so now I don't have to move it. What a relief. After talking to the wonderful Dawn and Mark at APQS I will take possession of a fabulous 2012 FREEDOM with motorized advance, bliss, hydraulic lift, thread sensor, etc etc....sometime late June early july, once I am in my new home and replaced the carpet with laminate or smooth flooring. I am soooo excited. Thanks a million for all your encouragement, kind words and good thoughts. You are all AWESOME and APQS is the BEST!!! Cheers Monika
