Quilting Friends,
(click

I don’t know about you, but a Bargello
quilt has been on my bucket list for many years. It was time!
This one was really unique in that it used a
jelly roll AND there was no measuring when cutting the strata up. (Strata is the strips all sewn together). Its called “No Measure Bargello” and (of course) it’s
a class too!
I’ve been sewing a lot this month,
its funny how some quilts are quick and out the door
and others take forEVER. I’m fortunate that my sewing studio is big
enough to work on 2-3 projects simultaneously.
Some days I touch 4 or 5 different projects. Definitely my happy
time and place!!
I realized recently that I hadn’t added any quilts to my Gallery in 6 years (!), so I’ve been slowly adding quilts to that page. It’s not every quilt I’ve made but all my favorites are there!
PS: if you're in the market for a machine but the two
highlighted below don't work for you, keep reading for the "Still Available" section, where I quick-list
previous ads.
Happy Quilting,
Mary-Jeanine
PS: I’d love to hear from you, so drop me a line sometime.
