Thanks Debbi, Janis & Barbara.  I have a Janome 500e embroidery machine.  It is an embroidery only machine which I really like.  That way I don't have to choose between sewing or embroidering.  The largest hoop is 200mm x 280mm which is 7.9" x 11".  There is a newer version which stitches the same width, but 14", but it would cost too much to upgrade to it just to gain 3" extra inches.

Here is a pic of 2 quilts I finished today.  The 1st one is made up of blocks exchanged with members of the Machine Embroidery Buddies group a few years ago.  The 2nd one is a little wallhanging I made this weekend to hang on a wall in my living room.

I am a long time member of "Quilting With Us" (QWU). I used to give virtual workshops here. Like many others, I have ventured out as QWU became more quiet.

We are getting the warning that QWU is at risk of being disabled. I fear this is a sign that QWU will one day be no more.

It has become like family here and the thought of losing the friendships we have developed has giving me a sad heart. Like many dark clouds, there is a silver lining. When I ventured out, I created a quilters social network, much like QWU. I never mentioned it, for it was a conflict of interest. However, in this dark hour, it is time to let others know there is an alternative. It does not have to end here.

I would be honored for QWU members to join "Pattern Pastiche". If needed, we are more than happy to create a group for your new home.

Barbara, hopefully you can find the panel that Tanyel mentioned because the store here doesn't have one.  She said the closest she has is more of a cartoon so I doubt that would work.  She & her employee liked the way the quilt I made for my brother turned out.

There is some muscle car fabrics currently in stores. They even have a panel.  It’s American Muscle fabric panel by Chelsea DesignWorks for Studio E Fabrics.You may try google to see if you can find it somewhere.

Thanks Barbara & Debbi.  I know he will love it.  

Barbara, the shop where I bought this panel is owned by a couple we rented a duplex from when we first moved to MO almost 12 yrs ago.  She loves panels and has a great selection.  I plan on stopping there today to show them my brother's quilt so I will ask her if she has any showing muscle cars.  She does mail out of town so if she has any, I will let you know and the contact information.
