For the past 2 days i have been working on the most amazing quilt for Claudia Crump. The quilt is for a special dedication of a bronze statue for the town of Panguitch, in conjunction with the Quilt Walk Festival
In true "Claudia fashion" she has created a work of art worthy of a memorial dedication.

i can't wait to show you.
Check out her blogspot she may post it before it is unvailed at the Festival.

Miracle at HMQS

Sometimes things happen just the way you dream they would , purely by accident, luck, or a sweet little blessing... (sweet little blessing is the right answer)

I wrote previously about how excited i was that i found a way to take just one class at the Home Machine Quilters Show (HMQS)
I pretty much randomly chose a class, at the last minute (i did study the "schedule of classes" book, a bit)


Well let me scream it from the roof tops... Sue Patten, read my mind and touched on EVERYTHING . I. NEEDED. TO. KNOW.
Hallelujah, Wonder of Wonders
i have been feeling more and more comfortable with my long arm everyday since.
So, 1week later and i'm thinkin' she taught me how to work smarter.
Not an easy task... since i am an "old dog"
