Welcome to the linky party that let's you rejuvenate your old quilting/sewing posts!
(Santa has our list of upcoming December themes ready! Check over in my sidebar.)
LONG-ARM QUILTING:
I'm a long-arm quilter.
I enjoy teaching myself the art of long-arm quilting. I mean, seriously, no one told me when I received my first box of crayons as a child, I'd grow up and be able to draw and design on fabric. I have found all aspects of quilting to be my "happiness" muse as I transition into this new chapter of life as an empty-nester and grandparent. (How does time pass so quickly?) I specialize in Edge to Edge Quilting for customer quilts and feel grateful to be able to create a quilt myself from beginning to end.
I'll link my Long-Arm Quilting information page below but what I'm really looking forward to seeing in this week's linky party is YOUR long-arm quilting!! I keep a list of all my favorite bloggers who Long-Arm too in my right margin (let me know if yours isn't there so I can add it too!) as I constantly find inspiration from you! I'm grateful for our virtual quilting group of blogging friends who so generously share and support eachother.

I like your cartoon of the long arm(ed) quilter. It made me think of the, now extinct occupation - "shorthand typist"!
ReplyDeleteIt is always good to ha back and find a post that has been made a while ago
ReplyDeleteI have only used the services of a long arm quilter once for the king size bed quilt I made about 15 years ago. I got to try quilting with a long arm a couple of times to get the feel of it, but never quilted an entire quilt. It was fun, but even if I wanted to own a long arm and frame, I wouldn't have the space to put it. I quilt my own quilts on my sewing machine and I rarely make bed size quilts, preferring to make wall art and lap quilts and quilted bags and things.
ReplyDeleteLove your specialty LAQ designs Val! I remember seeing your sock monkey design and being so impressed! Just checked out your page to see more of what you've done. Your designs are such fun - the pterodactyl totally cracks me up.
ReplyDeleteGreat topic!
ReplyDeleteLove your quilty doodles!
ReplyDeleteblogger is doing something weird--when I do open id (wordpress), my preference, an authentication screen flashes by so quickly that I can't read the numbers let alone type them in. It is happening on all with the same set up as you have for comments, so is a problem up the line that needs to be reported.
Great topic today, Val, but I'm not a long armer so I will just browse everyone's great long arming skills. Have a great linky party today!
ReplyDeleteWell I don't long-arm but yours sure looks pretty :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have a longarm but a friend of mine does and quilted the cow jumping over the moon for me on baby quilt - loved it!
ReplyDeleteI've never longarmed. I'm hoping when I retire, I'll have space and time to get into that aspect of quilting. You have some very fun pantographs.
ReplyDeleteHahaha the long arm quilter picture made me LOL!
