Due to circumstances my Quilting Lady is not able to rent out her quilting machine any longer. What a disappointment! So, how to quilt my quilts now? Don't have room for a longarm and not the $$$$$$ either! So I am looking for a smaller version for a home quilter. After a week of searching on the internet I found an Australian made frame... the Happy Jack. This might work???? Will investigate some more. There is another one from the States, the HandiQuilter that looks awesome, but the $$$$$ are way more. Hmmm....
In the meantime, Ruth's charity quilt was auctioned on Saturday night for a fortune! People are so generous. I am blown away.
I am currently working on a double bed quilt for my youngest teenager, a pinweel from the Sizzling Sixties book (made with a Jelly Roll) and a finished top that needs quilting.
Oh, and Saturday morning there was a mini quilt show at the Presbytarian Church in Wamberal, and needless to say some fabric, two charm packs, a pincushion and a pattern found its way home....
Hello there! I popped over and had a look at the Happy Jack quilting system.... very nice! I also liked the Tru Blue system, would really suit the home quilter. This is one "toy" that I don't own... keen to see what you decide and how it all goes.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about "stuff" coming home from quilt shows!!! I have two to go to soon, had better clear out some cupboard space:-)
Happy sewing!
