Music is what feelings sound like

For The Love of Music

this is the first quilt i have ever made .. at the time i was really happy w/the outcome ..

music, of course, is my passion and i do like hearts as well .. i thought the two would look nice together ..

so i named this one " For the Love of Music "

Heart Quilt 0304a

i guess the old man felt like he had to be in on the action =op

Heart Quilt 0304

sample of the blocks

Heart Quilt 0304b

considering i'd never made one b4, i was pretty proud of myself and happy w/the outcome ...

... until ...

i washed it one day and when i took it out of the washing machine, all of the batting was all bunched up and the whole thing was really distorted ..

.. at the time, i didn't realize i had to actually quilt it !
.. i went by the book, word for word, and at the finish of it, it didn't say anything about actually quilting it .. so i thought i was done w/it .. and i had no idea that was what makes it a quilt ! ( nor did i know anything about mitered corners .. )

.. oh ya, and the whole thing was made with straight stitches alone ..

i'm such a dork .. all together now - say it w/me ...

Move Over Hinterberg - I Got Something BETTER

nobody@vox.com(♪ ₤yяĩça₤ ♪™) — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 08:43:01 -0400

i've been wanting a nice quilting frame for a while now .. since i've picked up hand quilting ( and loving it !! ), i thought a nice frame would work better then a lap hoop .. so i started doing some research, trying to find one i like .. well, i found one that i liked - it's made by Hinterberg ..

Hinterberg

so he said ok, np ...
here's what he made for me

QS 002

QS 004

this is used to loosen & tighten the screws, so i don't have to use my hands =)

pretty darn good considering it all came from scrap wood he had laying around =)
