I have a kenmore machine that has worked pretty well learning my machine quilting. My question is for some reason I can not get it to go slow like it did before. The speed is controlled by the foot…Continue

Hey Y'all,Who prefers free motion quilting vs. in the ditch on your HSM? I prefer in the ditch just because it is easier to handle the massive quilt. I have done free motion on one quilt and it was a…Continue
What machine do you use for home quilting?

I have a Janome 1600P which came with a New Joy frame. It's fantastic for free motion quilting. However, I notice that when I do an upward stitch, the stitches skip, although the speed has been set…Continue

Excellent Secret Santa gift, Janet. Cardinals are such a cheery bird on a winter landscape.

Thanks Debbi & Jan. I love cardinals. We get tons of them in our yard every year. I didn't know until I started doing machine embroidery that the males are the only ones that are bright red. The females are more along the lines of peach/light brown. My Secret Sister mentioned that her favorite block is the churn dash which is why I chose that block for this quilt.

My secret pal would have loved that too. I am giving her a glass cardinal since I never thought about a wall hanging.

Janet - that is a BEAUTIFUL wall hanging! Great job!

Now that my Secret Sister has received her gift, I can show you all a pic of a little wallhanging I made as part of a Secret Sister/Santa exchange with the Piece Around the World group. The center block is machine embroidered, but the rest of the quilting was done on my Pfaff.

Thanks Cat Lady & Debbi. Every block was quilted differently. My friend Lynn equated it to quilting several quilts at the same time. I didn't do ruler work because I'm not very proficient in that method yet.

Janet - that quilt is BEAUTIFUL! Great job! I love the name!

Janet, it looks great and I like the name and the fabric used for the columns.
It looks like you used a number of different quilting designs on it. Did you you do them free hand, or do ruler work (on the straight lines)?

I finally put the last stitch in the binding last night. I started this quilt in 2012 as a BOM with an internet group I used to co-own so it was way past time for it to be turned in to an actual quilt! Quilting this was definitely a challenge, but I'm so pleased with how it turned out. I still need to block it, which always makes me very nervous when there is red & white fabrics, but I'm going to use several color catchers & hopefully it will be okay. I am going to name it "White Is Black & White & Red All Over".
