Here are some of the quilts the Circle W Quilters sent over for long arm quilting.  We continued to experiment with the machine and discover new patterns as well as machine features.

Here are some of the pictures from our first experimental quilt:

We had a steep learning curve and we just started the process with this quilt.  We had fun with this one!

New Arrival: Long Arm Quilting Machine!!!!!


Christy and I tackle our first quilt on the new long arm quilting machine.  The machine is an Ansley 26 Tin Lizzie.  The studio is completed but is currently my home and store room while my house is being remodeled. Hopefully, by mid summer things will be settled and the studio will actually be a full time studio.  Christy and I look forward to having gatherings with family as well as friends we know and friends we have yet to meet.
