Pictures of my world!

This is my short arm quilting machine. It is the older version of the Mega Quilter by Husqvarna. The sewing field is small, about 5 to 6" depending on the quilt size, but so was the price! It gets the job done!!! It takes me just about as long to load the quilt on this baby as it does to quilt it. I used to hand quilt every quilt from baby sized to Queen bed size. They took me years to complete. I can get one quilted in about 6 to 8 hours with this machine!!! I love it!!!

This is my sewing corner and pc set up. I love my little space and spend lots of time in this room as much as possible anyways. The clock on the wall is from my husbands Dad's barber shop in Elkin NC. That baby is over 100 years old but has the best tick tock sound to sew with! This room is only 12X12 aproximately! You would not believe all the stuff squished in here!!!

These two quilts are just the tops and not quilted yet. But I was so proud of them I took pictures anyway. I have about 7 tops finished from my UFO collection that I have made this year. This is the year to get my act together on my UFO's! I told myself I could not start any more projects untill I got all these done! Motivation!!!! Quilters love to buy fabric and start new quilts.... well most of them done anyways. I still have two quilts that will take me years to complete. One is an applique quilt that will be rotted before I can finish quilting it!!! The other one is an attic windows that is sooooo slow to work on...mostly by hand! I am working on a machine method!!!

Hey, look at the dates...think I need to reset my camera settings?? That's what a cheep camera does when you take the batteries out to get to the memory card...lol

These two furry friends are Gracie and Layla. The smaller one is Gracie and Layla is the big sheddar! Gracie we have had for years...Layla adopted us last spring before she shared her sheddar habit with us...ever heard of the furminator dog brush? She loves it and we do too. There is no love like the love of a dog to make you feel special! They love you no matter what kind of a day your having and never leave the towels in the bathroom floor! :)

Well, it's a begining anyways. I was just going to spend a few minutes uploading a few pictures to my blog and it is now 4 hours later. Haha...oh, but it has been fun learning!

I am now going to go work on some of those squares I started at the Sew in on Friday night at the local quilt shop. Oh, was that ever fun!!! I really should do some house work though...clean...sew...clean...sew...hmmm...
