Machine Quilting Pfaff 18.8 Grandquilter

I put my 1st quilt on my new 18.8 Grandquilter today. I have been practicing on a solid piece of materical for the last month. I learned to do free motion and to use the Quilt Artist. It has been a fun learning process. I did the border and the 1st row with the Quilt Artist and it was so much fun. It is going to be so much fun to plan out the quilting on all my quilts. I will post pictures of the quilt when I finish it. I worked on put labels on several quilts that I didn't do when I finished them yesterday. It is important to put labels on your quilts. This is the quilt top that I put on the frame today. Happy Quilting!!!

Happy February/Leap Year.

Here are pictures of my quilts that I talked about in the previous blog.

Happy February/Leap Year.

I have been learning how to use my Pfaff Grandquilter 18.8 and the Quilt Artist in the past several weeks. It is going to be so much fun. I have been practicing on a piece of fabric. I will practice more and then put a small quilt that I have ready to quilt. I love my lighting that my wonderful husband placed over the machine. It is great. I took a few pictures of the quilt machine in the studio.
I finished the 2 projects that I did at the quilt retreat. I have the binding to put on them. I brought these kits when I was in Houston.
1) Love in Bloom which is in Christmas fabric
2) Patchwork Table Runner Kit by Donna Jordan
I finished the binding on my quilt called Breaking Waves in January. I brought this kit at Hancocks of Paducah when we were there in April. It was on sale for $39.00!!!
I worked on the binding at the retreat too.
I made a Christmas runner from the pattern called Spice Rack "New Leaf Stitches" and Christmas mini mat called Joy Mini Mat by Patrick Lose in Fons and Porter Quilting Celebrations. I didn't have time to make anything for Christmas so worked on these in January. Here is a few pictures of the quilt machine.
