This is one of my UFOs I have been working on this week, my daughter gave me her machine quilting frame a few months ago , I didn't have any instructions, a friend came and gave me a lesson last Monday, I have now quilted 5 quilts ,this is the first of my own ,I quilted 3 for our bush fire quilt appeal , a great way to get lots of practice ,,, still trying to get to the bottom of the scrap bag lol

It's beautiful.. I'm sure the RFS appreciated your quilts.. practice makes perfect, then we can send our quilts to you for quilting..

Stunning

way 2 go.....looks great and I am envious of you with a quilter.....I will keep dreaming....love the quilt. and it is lovely you have done quilts for the bush fire disaster, was this for the one of a couple of weeks ago here. the poor south always gets bush fires, it never seems to get any easier for them to deal with them either....well done cute friend.

yes Kerry ,the fires here in the Blue Mountain last October , every child and adult who lost their home will receive a quilt of their own choosing .we will have a public day on March 21st where anyone can come see the more than 700 quilts on display and then the recipient's will come and select a quilt of their choice in a private event.

I really love your quilts! Having that frame must make a heck of a difference in getting these things finished! Congratulations!!

wonderful!

Oh Monika this one looks great. The colours would suit me too...lol You are so lucky to get the frame from your daughter....guess you can get lots of practice now.

I will add a photo of the frame as soon as I have finish the binding on the 5th quilt ,I have given flower to all for your kind words ,Thank you

Very lovely. Great color combinations.

Very Very nice.Shirley

BEAUTIFUL,but I want to see a photo of this quilting frame,too!

I am quite impressed. You mention a machine, are you talking about a frame and you use your own machine?

Looks great!

Wonderful quilt. and congratulation on diving right in and turning out 5 quilt so quickly.. All I can say about your scrap bag is .. I love it, what a joy you must find each time you start digging in it..
I am curious what type of machine quilt frame did you daughter pass up to you?
