Try It!

Swoon Quilt
Quilting and Quilting some more!  Trying new wings in the longarm quilting world these days and finding it so much fun!  Trying to just relax and enjoy the process and pray it looks good when it is done!  In the last month I put together and quilted a Swoon Quilt....I do love the fabric I used from Lori Holt in it. It is a challenging quilt top to put together but please try it!! You won't be disappointed in the results....
 I also made a doll quilt with the same pattern and fabric for my Doll Monthly August swap.  I am just going to post my phone pictures and hope you enjoy them.  I love to quilt and would be happy to finish a top that you have completed!  Just email me.  Quilted Quilted Blessings and more!!  Karen

Circles and Circles!

Wonderful Handguided Quilting Tips!

I am sure I was suppose to find these two ladies!!....I must share!!.....a great! video by Kathie James

 ....

And on another Web page I had on my Bloglovin' I found some beautiful quilting by a longarmer too....I contacted her and she was so sweet to offer any help setting up my business; as I do have nervous feelings about quilting someone elses' labor of "love"!,so check Kathy out at ....Stitch By Stitch   
Just search her page for her designs.  You will be blessed!

I just realized these two ladies are both Kathys"....isn't that great!!......  Quilted Blessings!!  Karen

Magnify My World!!

Swooooooon!!
Just stopping by to give a couple "HELPS" for those that do quilting with a longarm....I am working on my Swoon right now with circles and I thank A Quilting Sheep for her gorgeous picture of one completed with circles using a computer....I am my own computer, so I also thank Jennysdoodlingneedle for her wonderful quilting and circle templates from Lindas Electric Quilters.
So, enjoy the couple you tubes I have for you to watch on using magnets and snap on tools to get your quilt loaded instead of 45 mintues of pinning.  I am going to try it on next quilt loading and let you know what I think too..... Please enjoy!! Quilted Blessings!  Karen
