    Thank you, everyone, for the kind words! I was thrilled yesterday to actually finish a UFO top! It is a pieced spinning star of sorts, and an original block. I will share a picture much later, once I have it quilted. I'm going to try out my new ruler foot and ruler. I found a clear ruler foot that should be easier for me than the metal ones. I bought it through Pasty Thompson, it came from Accents in Design, and is called the "Fine Line" Clarity Roler foot.

    Joyce, we have around 125 members, give or take, depending on the year. There are only about 40 or 50 who I would consider quite active. People who will always help with the show, make charity quilts, longarm charity quilts, volunteer for committees, help with Kid's Camp, and attend retreats and classes. But, these few people supply the show with around 135 to 150 excellent quilts each year!

    Dorothy, that would be great if you were able to come up for our show this year! Susan, from All in Stitches (Polson), has had a booth in our show the last couple of years, too.

    Rosemary, what a cute little machine! Looks perfect for home AND taking to classes and retreats! Do you have a name for her yet?

    Well, it's off to my "studio."

      BJ, you posted while I was writing my post. Congratulations to you, too! And, how wonderful to have your own show! That is really special. People will certainly enjoy the diversity of your quilts. You are going to have so much fun! No, I am not attending MAQF. It is a LONG way from western Montana! And, I don't travel well anymore!

        Betty Jo, when you have the dates for your exhibit, please post them. I'm going to DC in early May, so if it's still showing, I'll try to get there.

          Congratulations, Dawn, on your quilt's acceptance into MAQF and you featured artist show! You work is so detailed and beautiful, I'm sure we'll be seeing more and more of your work in shows around the country. When it gets to Houston, I'll be sure to take many pictures for you if you can't make it to the show!!

          Congratulations to you, too, BJ! I can't wait to see pictures of your new masterpiece and hope that your show goes well!

            Dawn, Sorry you won't be there. I'll go greet your quilt, though. I agree travel gets more challenging. I don't fly unless I really need to. Hugs

                    I haven't been on much, because I have been so busy working & finishing up my quilts for the local show. I'm pleased with how they turned out. The 1st one is a kit from Craftsy that will be a wedding present for my nephew.

                    The 2nd one is for my son who works for Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus as the Assistant Train Master, what a great ride he has had, & how sad it will be ending soon. This one I happened to find the fabric on clearance, & I thought what a perfect quilt for Jack, so this one is my own simple designe

                    My last quilt was part of a guild challenge of what it was like living on the mexican boarder. I chose the bueatiful mexican art. My quilt is covered is 'diamonds', bead & bueatiful couched threads. It won 2nd prize in the challenge

                                Also in view are some threads I have been playing with for a row, my leaders & enders 2.5" scrap box, a pile of 'pages' for the stitch out book, and a very full thread ends bin bag.

                                Rosemary fun to see your machine stitches!! Something I need to do too sometime.
