Gammill Vision 18-8 Sales Representative

I love these shop babies. Kirsten and Quintin are "nap testing" a quilt that my Mother-in-law made in the early 1940's. My daughter Amanda and I quilted it for my Sister-in-law Janet and afterwards my grandchildren did the nap testing. It took 4 generations to complete this top. When is that napping going to start?


But a new shop baby is on the way to keep his big brother company. We have signed up to be a Gammill Vision 18-8 Sales Representative in our shop, Aurora Quilts, 9100 Church Street, Manassas, Virginia 20110.

Hampton Quilt Show - March 25, 2012


This is me at the Hampton Quilt Show this past weekend. I was enjoying looking at all the wonderful quilts.

The quilt below was a group effort to surprise my friend Ginny R. with a quilt for her birthday. I made five of the blocks and did the quilting on our Gammill Longarm Quiltng machine. Of course we used the every popular Lime Green thread!

Happy Birthday Ginny!
