Finally, I was able to quilt the card quilt and I did it on the Singer 301 as I thought it was too small for the longarm. I had some issues with the binding because I had a bad head cold and sewed it on backwards at first. I had to rip it all and do it all over again as I had no spare pieces to cut a new one. As a result, it is not as crisp and nice as I would like.
This quilt was from a card my grandson made me when I was in the hospital recovering from the heart attack last February and the fabric is mostly from Vicki that she sent me as a get well gift not knowing the colors my grandson drew the quilt. They matched. I decided to make the quilt. I did not quilt in the stars because I wanted to keep the hand drawn look. I used variegated rainbow thread as it seemed to replicate the crayon drawing better.

I was asked to participate in a pilot of a new series for our local PBS station on spotlighting the arts by my painting teacher. I was was one of four artists interviewed. The link to the clip is not quite all edited yet for TV, but you get to see me talk about quilts and art. I am at the 12:20 mark. They condensed 45 minutes of interview into 2 minutes. Hard to watch yourself talk.
