Just the other day we finished up the quilting on our first customer quilt. A woman from Guild had asked us to quilt the charity quilt she was working on, and of course I said ‘Yes!”. The quilt was a group project, Marjanne had arranged for members to donate their quit blocks, and she added sashing, borders, and additional blocks. The quilt turned out beautifully - as you can see!


Marjanne gave us permission to do whatever we liked. It turned out that we had a groovy board template that fit perfectly for the block size. Fortunately Matt and I had just taken a workshop and learned some great tips for quilting with the HQ16. For the borders we decided to stitch in the ditch. Here you can see a couple of blocks up close.





Here is a look at the HQ16 with the quilt displayed over the frame....





What a great set up and a beautiful machine. We are so hapy with it! Marjanne was thrilled with the quilt. She picked it up Thursday morning, and donated it to the charity that night during our guild meeting. Most exciting, she has already said she will bring us her next quilt! SHe has big plns for the next one, feathered borders, micro stippling around her trapunto, and echo quilting to finish it off. I had to giggle a bit when she showed me the quilt... still under construction! When it is ready, we will be too.
