Back to Matt's quilt

I know you guys are thinking I'm easily distracted by my previous posts. BUT I did finish piecing Matt's quilt top. I have a little bit of adjusting to do. And I'm trying to decide on a border color. I should have it ready to quilt on the long arm soon. Here is my proof below. I have a really cool idea for the back too!  And I was right...it is a king size quilt!

Just in time for graduation!

I finished another graduation quilt!!! It's for a good friend of mine's son. And good thing too. He graduates in two weeks! It's the best one that I've made so far!

These are some of the best pictures that we took.  Our favorite city to visit was Florence, Italy by far.  We enjoyed walking and roa...

Let there be light!

My eyesight seems to be getting worse and worse. Quilting on the Handiquilter at night gave me headaches. I even borrowed my husband's headlamp. I went by Huntsville Sew and Vac and looked at all of the accessories for the Handiquilter. I saw this pack of LED lights that stick onto the frame. It made so much of a difference! I cut a section of the strip off and it made the rest a little brighter.
