quilt olympics?

Posted on September 29, 2010

Do you think if one existed you would want to be a competitor? I think I could do it…as I was quilting away tonight finishing the trip around the world nine patch…this is the smallest pantograph I have ever done…it is tiny…it looks deceiving here..but those are 3″ squares…you can see how small it is on the whole quilt….I also noticed I have lost the tension spring on my machine…wonder how long I have been quilting without it? It’s only 10:05 and I have the binding done too! I am ready for the nut hut…can’t you tell? I will be bringing Jason the quilts tomorrow…hopefully he can shoot them and I can get them back to write my directions…Carole has hers all done…she has quilted and bound one of my little wool applique nine patches…she brought it over today and showed it to me….that girl sure can quilt! I will show it tomorrow…I think I am going to watch our Netfix movie we have had for 3 weeks now…aaahh…hey…one more thing…I think I am going to have a giveaway….I will show you this tomorrow too!

I doubt that I would be a competitor, but you certainly could be. I love that little quilt. Absolutely gorgeous and in my colors. 😀

Hi Lisa,

Love that little quilt. What’s the name of the pantograph? Look’s like a all purpose panto.

Thanks
Janice
