What a nice feeling!! Just finished taking down the decorations, and turning the guest bedroom back into a sewing room. Sat down and did some sewing - sooooooooo relaxing. I'm working on one of the Bella Bella paper pieced quilts. Pretty challenging as I'm rather new to paper piecing. Must get my thank you notes done so I can continue sewing "guilt free".

Can a quilt like that have additional quilting added using a long arm machine? I know the machines are set up to feed the layers separately, can they also feed a partially quilted piece?

I just bought the bella bella book and foundation paper package. I saw Judy's bella bella quilt and knew I had to have that book. I would love to see your quilt when you have the top done.

I will see if I can find that book.
Your picture nulmber 4 reminds me of a postcard. That is something.
The quilting in it really brngs out the detail. Nice job! I love it!

It was submitted by a woman who is an engineer by profession. I remember that because the cutting instructions were way off, and I found that so ironic!!! I had to resize all of the pieces.

You do gorgeous work! I looked at your slideshow and really loved them all -- my favorite was the one with the echo quilting around the animals. Is that adorable baby in another photo a grandchild?
