The Future's Bright...

...for the next generation of quilt makers! Gregory was in the house today to quilt up his Star Wars top and get the binding attached. For him, to acclimate to the longarm and understand its workings were like a duck approaching a pond. It was 100% clear sailing all the way!
He used an easy beginner pantograph: "Loop de Loop"; he was done and off the rails by lunchtime. 
The binding was attached and basted down after lunch. He persevered with the hand finishing.
He'll get there. Admittedly this was his "least favorite" part. But, he did ask me about making a label for the back to contain his name and the date and "hand made by..."; we'll definitely get that done. 👍

Life is Good!

That is very exciting that he has made his own quilt. You can see the satisfaction in the look on his face. Not only did he learn skills, he gained confidence.

Congratulations Gregory! What a masterpiece! I wish your grandmother would teach ME how to use a longarm machine!
