Latest project and 120″ quilting frame…

A few weeks ago I received my batch of Moda fabrics for my next Moda Bakery project! I will be using Moda’s new fabric line called “Bliss.” I just love the colors.

Here’s a sketch of my quilt design which uses Moda’s layer cakes and charm squares. I’m just about finished and plan on quilting it tonight, so stay tuned for the next tutorial shortly.

Speaking of quilting, last night my husband and I were up until midnight extending my Imperial Quilting Frame from crib size (60″) to King size (120″). I’m intimidated by my quilt frame now – it’s completely taken over our upstairs and what was left of my husband’s guitar corner is no more… :- [] i owe him!!

Here’s the final set-up with the layers rolled up and ready to quilt!

Vintage sewing machine

I snagged this sweet vintage sewing machine for free at a neighborhood yard sale. Apparently no one wanted this beauty so at the end of the yard sale they put up a “free” sign trying to rid of it. And along I came, perfect timing, and a happy camper 8-[) The machine still works too.

If anyone knows anything about this machine, please let me know!! I don’t even know what year it is…looks like it could be from the 70’s?

It came on this handy little table where the machine can flip under and be hidden away.

I hope to clean it up soon so i can admire it even more.
