Quilting with Machines

Yesterday my sweet hubby and I drove our hand-me-down RV up to Huron, Ohio to see the “Quilting with Machines” show. I also registered to take a couple of classes with Patsy Thompson. My first class was bright and early at 8 AM. I hurried in a few minutes late, but once I had everything set up, it was great fun. Tomorrow I’ll post pictures of some of the feathers we made.

As soon as my class was over, we went down to see the quilt show. As I understand it, this show is specifically focused on the machine quilting and there was some really terrific quilting there! I was in awe of so many quilts. I’ve done free-motion machine quilting for more than ten years now, but I am not nearly as proficient as these amazing quilts. I was honored that “Redeeming Fragments” earned a third place ribbon in the Art Pictorial category and “Wedding Dreams” earned an honorable mention.

I learned so much going to this show. Mostly I learned that I need to practice, practice, practice if I want to get better!
