I had to do some searching per my sons request for a technical or digital like pattern in greenish and bluish colors.  I found some on fabric.com and at this time, they have the best pricing for what I need. This quilt suits him, as he is currently working in the IT field.  However, he has been playing and using a computer since he was a toddler.

As you will see, my cutting skills have improved a little.  I found this Quilting Ruler Squares Set on Amazon.  These are helping me improve cutting as well as learning the different cuts you can learn with using them.

Next, I start sewing them together good print front to good print front and make a strip of each patterns squares.  I leave about 1/4″ to the…

First mini one(July of 2022).  It could be a doll or pet quilt or etc… I’m glad for the switch up to start smaller instead of making a big mistake on the 3rd Cousin Quilt. For some reason the quilting foot has stopped twice now and it just keeps stitching in the same place, so, I end up cutting multiple strands under my quilt and rethreading the lower bobbin.  Maybe it’s the thread or tension? I used basting spray to sandwich the back and front panel and also pinned it. 🦏 This is Quilting… First turn off the machine and raise the presser foot lever. On my Brother SQ9185, there is a…
