This is all I could recover. These blocks I've admired but they don't really fit in any of the quilts I've made so far. So I'm glad I have a couple of outlets to contribute blocks to make a quilt of valor with other volunteers. Love this work however we can make a quilt to comfort those who sacrifice for us.<br />

I used a chart to figure out how to cut the setting triangles on the outside border & they are huge. So after I figure out how to sew that border completely it will be ready for the frame. I fell in love with this quilt when I saw it on Wanda's Exuberant Color blog a couple years ago. I cut 2 of each block on the Accuquilt with the Blazing star die. I will make a 2nd quilt for me.<br />
<br />
The second top is for another QOV to thank a veteran for their service. It needs 1 more border to be big enough. It's a quick & easy quilt but I had to change my original border when I cut wrong & didn't have enough fabric left.<br />

<br />
i lost most of 10 months of longarming in 2015. The first 5 due to stupid human error that broke down my longarm & not being able to get it fixed until May. Then in July got some scary diagnosis & spent all my non work time running around getting tests. Turned out manageable thank God. Anyway while I began the year excited about how my free motion practice was going, after all those months I'm almost starting over.<br />
<br />
This is a baby quilt for a friend at work. I'm posting this really humble quilting so I can see later the improvement whenever it comes. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I've been looking for my mojo this past week. This year has had alot of quilting roadblocks & I need a jump start. My longarm was down for 6 months due to stupid human error & then health delays. I did a few tops in the winter but all I've done since summer is try to put together a paper pieced star for a Quilt of Valor. Every piece was touched 5 or 6 times. I finished it last Saturday with at least 15-20 hours struggling with it. & it sure was not the quality I worked so hard to get. So I went back to watch the Carol Doak craftsy class on foundation paper piecing & found I was doing 1 step totally wrong. I could not line up 1 single piece the way I was doing it. So decided to make a second block to get the process embedded in my brain & it took only 6 hrs. This will get faster as I practice but Im grateful to learn how to do it right.<br />
<br />
Here's a link to the first block<br />

Between naturally poor light in my condo & limited mobility for me as I am putting up with a back muscle spasm for the last 4 weeks, I just couldn't get a good picture. Perhaps when it's quilted, I can get good shot.<br />

I like her designs so set apart the 2.5 weeks (I thought) to for once keep up with everyone doing the project. Some unexpected & potentially serious medical stuff came up & I was at doctor offices & labs 7 times in 2 weeks. So I'm a bit behind but for my track record on doing projects after everyone is finished, I'm calling this on time relatively lol. Here's the blocks ready to be assembled into the quilt top this weekend, hopefully.<br />

I was selected! I'm still amazed! So my volunteering is with Quilts of Valor & they received the grant money. I made this table topper/small wall hanging to thank United Airlines for the grant,<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, there's never enough light to get good pictures.<br />

It's been a challenging few months between the winter & stress aggravating the chronic migraine syndrome. The migraines & severe headaches were almost continuous. I think it must be like people who get past a bad allergy season. It feels like new life to be freer! My delight in developing my longarming got curtailed too as I needed my timing fixed since February. If I wasn't at work or in bed with a headache, I was trying to figure out how to fix my machine. I don't know why I couldn't get it but finally humbly brought it to the dealer in May when the weather got better for driving. I don't have it back on the frame yet but as soon as I have help, I'm hoping to be back sewing soon. Anyway these pictures are some Quilts of Valor I quilted for other volunteers when the longarm was happy.<br />

I naively thought I could do 1 a month with my then new Gammill longarm quilting machine. I can do 1/month now but not then. I way underestimated the learning curve & health delays. Anyway here are the first 4 of the 12 going to Colorado tomorrow Lord willing. It's hard to part with something that has dominated my energies & thinking for 3 years.<br />

The last one only took around 4 hours to quilt. The same design took over 7 hours on this quilt because of multiple thread breaks. But I think this quilt top pattern by Nancy Rink is very regal.<br />

Valerie retired with 23 years service and among other things was a field trainer, a most vulnerable job in battle during the Iraqi Freedom campaign. Tony was a medic in Desert Storm and was a sharp shooter and grenade specialist.<br />

I thought I was going to say this is done except for puting on the label but see some bad spots in the binding to redo. I tried to machine sew it all & I don't have a good technique yet. <br />

I thought this fabric would be a perfect piece to practice precision. I have a hard time hitting my mark on this powerful longarm sewing machine.<br />
<br />
My first session (but after 4 hrs). I admit to being discouraged at not any improvement in 4 hrs.<br />
<br />

Then I put my needlebar out of alignment when the bobbin did not go in securely & I was trying to fix that all May, every weekend. My longarm dealer Jeff Benedict finally saved my life & fixed it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So the rest of that weekend Jeff fixed it I practiced some more & then had migraines knock me out for the next 5 days. Stops & starts have been the routine for the past 2 years & the reason I think I can hold the title of longarming's longest beginner. But I am finally making progress so there's something to dogged persistence. I'm figuring out little formulas to do this without the ability to stand up at my stand up machine. So here's this weekend's practice. This is still wonky but I can definitely hit my mark most of the time. This is SO encouraging to me! (don't you love this fabric?!)</div>

When I finally get the needle bar adjusted, the biggest challenge is to get it all back together again.<br />
<br />
So Sunday night being frustrated by the lost weekend, I had to redeem a little bit of the weekend by making a birthday gift. A mugrug. I've been wanting to try some of Lori Kennedy's wonderful free motion designs at <a href="http://theinboxjaunt.com/2014/04/22/a-is-for-apple-a-free-motion-quilt-tutorial/">http://theinboxjaunt.com/2014/04/22/a-is-for-apple-a-free-motion-quilt-tutorial/</a>.<br />
I love how this turned out.<br />
