glimpses...



...to prove i actually do make quilts...i can't show you everything but thought you might like to see these. i've been getting to grips with quilting with my newish janome horizon 7700, and i've got to say i LOVE how it quilts. it's got a wider throat space than normal machines, and those few extra inches really make a difference (...said the actress to the bishop, fnar fnar) i'm yet to quilt anything really big, but for wall quilts it's a pleasure to use. i haven't done any free motion quilting yet, i'm really enjoying the results of finely spaced straight lines, but when i rise to that challenge i shall be poring all over leah's free motion quilting site for inspiration!
