And once again, here is the new set- up in my craft room...
What I learned from all these quilts:
- I love quilting with my Tiara, Princess.
- Adding tables to the right and left help a lot.
- I needed a better chair. (My sweet hubby bought me one last weekend.)
- The Aurifil thread works great with my Tiara.
- The stitch regular takes some getting used to, but I like it.
- This was a great way to learn my new machine while helping others. (These will all be donated locally.)
- It also used up a bunch of fabric... 18.75 yards for all six quilts.
And just in case you were wondering if I have any fabric left... Here is a peek at my newly organized closet. I have made a dent in my stash, but there is still lots to use. :o) I have used over 100 yards in less than two and a half months. As my husband said, "That's a football field!" Wow! it sure adds up fast.
You can also see some more detailed pictures of my stash on my Stash Busting page just under my header.
Plus, I bought 4 yards of fabric I found in the clearance section in my LQS. It was more Richard Scarry fabric.

Wow! You have been busy AND it looks like you and your new Princess are getting along great! I was at the LQS yesterday. . . made it out with no fabric AND put blinders on when walking by the sit down quilting machines :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're enjoying your new Princess :) I think I would love a stitch regulator, but I'm purposely NOT test driving any machines. It's a lot harder to say no when I know as opposed to just imagine what I'm missing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilting and stash!
