We are never too old to learn something new.

 Last week I had a chance to learn about longarm quilting and what these machines can do.  The Sewing Cafe hosted  Amy Van Gurp she was our teacher. It was fun to learn something new and creative.






She quilted this antique, hand pieced quilt top. Adding her own spin on it, the end result is a quilt with a new life.
Place mats, no piecing required, it was all done on the longarm. The best part, the binding was attached with this as well.
The back of the place mat.
 An Art Quilt, using funky yarns.
Feathers, with a touch of modern.
Samplers.
 Amy with a few of the ladies.

This was not the expected response, to such a simple action. Always be prepared to be surprised in life, you never knows, what will happen.
