HQ promo for a good product
I have been sewing on my HQ Fusion long arm machine for a few weeks now and love every moment of it.
It arrived in a daunting 9 box spread and took a bit of engineering to get together, but now that its up I have had not a single bit of trouble with it.
I am loving how much faster I can sew and what amount of detail i can bring into my work.

Scott Blake the artist who makes art from bar codes sent me some sweet merch today.

[Gifts #11] Whale eye
Here is the second small quilt I made for the Alliance for American Quilts annual fundraiser.
I used a Bernina free motion machine to quilt it.
You can see that there are a lot more stitches than I am used to using and in a different pattern, due to the machine.

I didnt worry about the edges I just machined all over each color in the image with that color thread.
I like to send in a self portrait every year to the Alliance.
It’s for both branding and to fuel my ego.

Thumbs up
I have made the first piece for my donation to the AAQ this year.
I tend to use this each hear to try my hand at new techniques and ideas.
[and of course making at least one a picture of me or my logo]
its 16inches by 16 inches, as are they all for the contest. so that collectors can make a collection by getting them year after year.
I advise going over to the website and check what they have to offer and think about submitting a small quilt for the chance at huge prizes.
