Default First quilt finished on the frame!

Just finished the first quilt quilted on my 'new to me' Inspira frame
and Pfaff Grand quilter. I'd been practicing for weeks and finally
got the courage up to give it a go on the 'real thing.'

This Christmas wall hanging has been sitting in a drawer for almost
four years as I pondered how to quilt the dang thing...so it seemed
the perfect candidate, and am very happy with how it came out. You
can catch a peek of it he

Looking forward to finally finishing up the other 6-7 quilting tops in
that same drawer....

Looks great! And doesn't it feel good to have something finished? Have
fun working on the rest of your projects. I'm looking forward to seeing
them.

Irene, all that practicing has you doing fine work!
That wallhanging is gorgeous. I think that those place mats are of the same
fabric I did a tree skirt in last year. It is beautiful! I'm so glad you
are enjoying your new set up.

OHhhhhh, how pretty, pretty! After doing 4 Christmas tree skirts last
year, I thought I never ever wanted to see a quilted Christmas anything for
at least a few decades but your WH has changed my mind. Not a big event,
sometimes I change my mind in the middle of a sentence. I'm so happy you're
enjoying your new tools. Polly

Beautiful! I love that, and apparently all that practicing paid off
wonderfully. Well done!

I would never have guessed it was your first quilt finished on the new
frame. You definitely have the touch. I look forward to seeing more of
your work.

Thanks for all the encouraging words, everyone! Frame quilting sure
is different and boy is it fun. I'm looking forward to finally
getting all of my unfinished tops complated.
