Longarm quilting designs since June
Ok, one of my fans mentioned that I haven't blogged in ages! guilty. Will two posts in one day make up for it ?
I have been doing lots of herding and NOT really making good progress. Fly and I are working on 'Lie down'. Without a lie down, herding is impossible. We hope to get back out there soon.
In the mean time, I realized that its December already and I have lots of presents to work on and my TODO list is WAY too long. I have quilted MANY charity quilts for the guild and my quilting is getting better and better. I had to get a new bobbin case for the longarm and re-time my machine, but all is good now and I'm able to quilt without breaking my thread every 4 feet. Here are some designs I've done.
Daisy, I'm learning that echoing makes anything look better.
Feather
Loops in border
Loopy flowers, I like how they filled the sashing too.
Squiggle on a stem , instead of flowers. You can put ANYTHING on a stem.
Loopy star on Rebecca's quilt, easier than it looks!
Ribbons, like this too!
Meandering leaf feathers and loops. This was easy, fast, and fun.
Cats and Harley update.
Did I mention that I have 3 cats ? Two are barn cats and Sammy-pants is an indoor cat. Sammy is a girl, we assumed she was a boy until we took her to the vet when we first got her. Here is Sammy
She is a trouble maker but I love hearing her gallop thru the house! She also is the cat detective. If something is going on , Sammy is there to watch! If only she could talk. Here she is making sure the printer is working.
And playing with Homer
Homer and Harley are brothers, about 5 years old now. We call them the 'Bobcats' because they are both about 12 pounds of solid cat. Homer is the grey tabby, Harley is the handsome black and white. That black spot on his nose was so small when he was a kitten, it looked like a speck of dirt!
Here's Homer in his favorite sleeping spot, Randy's sock basket!
And here's Harley at the barn, love his green eyes!
And a full length shot of Harley
Harley recently had a run in with a car, cow, or horse. He's doing better and I think we are going to save his eye. Poor guy hasn't been feeling well. I've been medicating his eye every 3 hours to make sure we save it. Until about two days ago, his face was so swollen he couldn't even close his eye. Hope that green eye makes a comeback!
