Handi Quilter Promotion - last days! And Studio Demo Machine Sale!

Yes, it has been awhile...been an action packed several months but summer has wound down, I am quilting up a storm and getting the house in order.  And I have actually made a few new things and finished a few old things and enjoyed doing some sewing for a change.

Here is Elodie's baby quilt.  I make a special quilt for all the grandbabies.  Ellie's has hand embroidery using perle cotton along the top along with cross hatched quilting.  Alfresco quilting design in the body of the quilt.  Cotton batting..washed and dried and all cuddly and quilty.

Handi Quilter is having a great promotion right now!  Only 2 days left to save.  Contact me at 307-745-3200 or email me at bobbinsnthreads@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to take advantage of the savings.

And speaking of savings, I have my demo Simply Sixteen and 5 ft Little Foot Frame on sale for a really good price.  Give me a call if you are interested.

It has been so long since I have posted on my blog!  And I will have to play *catch up* with the customer quilt pictures but here are some to start:

It is gorgeous outside today...enjoy!  :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I cannot believe it is March already! And our March snow(s) are here so I am glad to be up in the Studio cozy and warm.  :)

We purchased a new car (finally) two day's ago on Rudi's birthday so he was a happy guy.  We bought our last car on his birthday as well, so it seems to be a tradition for us.  I suppose it helps that it is usually during spring break...

Our old Buick was just getting so uncomfortable to sit in after eleven years and all the long trips we had taken in it and although I am missing it, the new CR-V is pretty awesome.  Complicated, but awesome.  Rudi took it to work today to see how it drives in the snow.  I was too chicken to drive him to work in it today.  ;)

Here are some pictures of the Star Wars quilt I made and sent to the family...it was so much fun to do! It was a panel and I added borders to it and pieced the back with the leftover fabric.

And...after almost a year of hand quilting, I finally finished the wholecloth crib quilt.  Here it is after being gently washed to get all the markings out.  It was a pre-marked quilt top as those who know me well know that I hate prep work and these little pre-marked kits work for me.  I have actually ordered two more as I want to do some experimenting on the longarm with them.  I used silk batting and the finished quilt is so light and soft.  Love it.

And some things I found on the internet:

• How to do Pantographs with the HQ Simply 16 <click here>
• Applique circles method <click here>
• Machine applied binding method <click here>

We are having another Machine Maintenance Day!  Techs from Blakeman's will be here on Friday, April 8th starting at 9am.  Give me a call at 307-745-3200 or email me at bobbinsnthreads@gmail.com if you would like to be put on the list. 

                            **************************

 The latest Handi Quilter promo "Celebrate National Quilting Day" is still available until March 21st!  So, if you are interested in a new HQ quilting system, contact me and I would be glad to offer you free shipping.

  

And if you are in the market for a gently used system, it is time to sell my Demos!  I have the new Simply Sixteen and Little Foot Frame to offer, a Sweet 16 sit down system with a Hide Away cabinet and Tru Stitch stitch regulator, and the Avante on a Studio Frame with or without the Pro Stitcher computer.  They all work beautifully and, as with any machine you purchase, you receive support and training from me.  If you are interested, just holler!  

Finally, some customer quilts, 3 months worth (I really should blog more often....)

As always, thanks for your continued support.  It means a lot!

Warmly,

Jude

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Greetings!  <click here for card>

Here's wishing you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday filled with love and joy...and lots and lots of yummy food!  :)

Here is a picture of a quilt top I finished.  Yes, I got a top finished!  Not sure when I will get it quilted, mind you...

It was a free block of the month (Dream Garden) from Sentimental Stitches and it is hand appliqued and hand embroidered.  I thoroughly enjoyed doing it.  I did a different setting as I neglected to notice that the blocks in the pattern were on point and I did mine square.  So...I put in some yellow corners, slapped on a yellow border for some yummy quilting and called it good.  :)

And you haven't seen a picture of the Most Beautiful Boys in the World for awhile so here is the latest.  These brothers sure do love each other!  :)  Quinn is 7 and Oliver is 2-1/2.  They are growing so fast! 

I took delivery of the newest Handi Quilter system yesterday!  It is still in boxes but we plan on getting it up and going during Thanksgiving.  I am really excited about this little system.  And here is the next promo!  A special introductory price AND free shipping on the new Simply Sixteen and Little Foot Frame!  If you have any questions, just holler.

The Sweet Sixteen Sit Down System demo, here in the Studio, is still for sale for a good price, as well.  It is only a year old and has less than 2,000 stitches on it.  Seriously.  It just hasn't been used.  It comes with a TruStitch stitch regulator and all the bells and whistles.  If you are interested, contact me at 307-745-3200 or bobbinsnthreads@gmail.com.  I need to make room for the new Simply Sixteen!  :)

And here are some more customer quilts:

Have a wonderful holiday!

Stay warm!
