More Quilting Progress! (Process Pledge)

I have been stitching away! I chose the free "raindrops" pantograph pattern (found here) for my scrap quilt.

Loading the quilt is so easy...I LOVE IT!!!

loading the top! The backing is on the roll above it, already loaded.

All ready to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While quilting, I've been listening to the second book in Marie Bostwick's Cobbled Court Quilts series. These are such great stories. They really make you "feel" like you're there.

QUILTING progress!

Well, although I am behind in my posting of family events, etc...I am going to have to move on and come back to them at a later time because Ronnie's laptop crashed! The one with ALLLLLLL the pics on it!

So...today I am sharing with you a dream come true....my new Grace Next Generation quilting frame and Viking Mega Quilter!

  SOOOO EXCITED!

I always thought that I would not be able to get one of these until Kyle was grown. It's not a long arm, just a short arm, BUT I LOVE IT!

So...as you can imagine, I have been a busy bee with quilting all my UFO's!
It's so great! no pinning the sandwich, no fighting, just roll and quilt!

The first thing I quilted was this fishing quilt because it was small and I wouldn't be upset if I messed it up some. All I did was some freehand meandering. (I was so nervous!)

It was SO quick and easy though! I was shocked!!

Then Lisa came over and quilted two of her quilts for the Quilted Hugs project for the orphanage in Mexico!
They whipped right out!

Next up, I quilted my postage stamp quilt! I LOVE this quilt and was SO excited to finish it!

Then....DRUM ROLL, please......... this is HUGE...................

I quilted this design onto this "quick jellyroll quilt" that I pieced a few months ago!

The lighting in these pics is horrible, but oh well! The quilting is amazing!!

Not only did I get all of those quilted, I also pieced the backing for two more quilts! This scrap quilt:

and my butterfly quilt from the fat 8 block swap I participated in on the quilting board.

I am super siked to make so much progress in so little time and cannot wait to complete all of my UFO's so I can start building a stack of new UFO's!!
