Quilting and More

Yesterday and last night the baby quilt aka Flamingo Road got a great start on the quilting. I am using my new Ruler Foot and a straight ruler for a lot of it.  Here is the center of the quilt.

I really love the way this quilting emphasizes the center of  the quilt.

I am not sure that it was any faster than just doing free motion stitching, but I love the look of it. 

Now for the news!  My new year started off with quite the quilty surprise.  

I received and email stating that my application was accepted and 

that I have been selected as one of the 2019 Ambassadors for 

Island Batik

Technically it doesn't start until February.  But I am very excited to join some old friends in this journey.  Plus I am meeting lots of new  friends by being a part of this.

Right now as the 2018 Ambassador year comes to an end, the final blog hop has just started this week. And January is a great time for a Getaway.  So check out the Getaway Blog Hop.
