But I'm really starting to like these. Susie - thank you. I took some images and will get around to answering your question! about quilting without fatigue soon Thank Shelia, working with angled lines isn’t as easy for me as the 90 angles.

I, too, like the designing and layout part of the art quilt process and struggle sometimes to keep the flow going with quilting. And my quilting is much less exacting than yours. One issue too is just the physical challenge of wrestling with the larger pieces at the machine. Any tips you can share? Even though I have more flex time at my disposal, I find it physically challenging to quilt hour after hour, so inevitably I end up with pieces on the design wall while the quilting stacks up in the great holding pattern in the sky!

I show my work at various group and solo shows around the country. I will hopefully be updating my website tonight with my upcoming shows. Hi Sylvia - thanks for the suggestions. Although I like the way I work now - I wasn't complaining - just talking about why I don't finish things right away all the time. I'm not looking for new technology or help - I'm content with my current process and see now reason to look to change it because for me it is about the process and not about the product. What I'm not content with is the amount of time I have to work in my studio - and that will hopefully change some day! Thank Mary. I show my work at various group and solo shows around the country.

But, you may want to look at some different ways to get your work done--a new machine? having someone baste your pieces on a longarm so you can finish them on your machine at home? working smaller? working digitally and printing out the resultant designs and quilting them? Just my thoughts--but you seem so well organized and thoughtful I'm sure you will come up with even more interesting ways to solve this problem. Lisa

You get an awful lot done in a day--I applaud you for your dedication. I like the other quilts you show here, too. The details of the stitching are great. Where do you show your work?
