Conner's Quilt:

Before my quilting class, I had purchased the fabric to make a quilt for Conner. I had tried cutting squares and a plan. After the class--I changed my pattern and sewed the quilt. It was a major learning experience with cutting, sewing, and discovering how to use my machine!

Two years ago I purchased a Janome Memory Craft 6500. It has several quilting stitches. I experimented with a variety of stitches. I found a quilting stitch that looks like tire tread to sew across the blocks. Using an applique stitch I sewed around the large machines in the panel. After it was finished and I looked it over I found layout problems. But I decided it was OK for my first independent project.
At least Conner loves it!
