  • Join me as I recap my trip to the 2024 International Quilt Festival in Houston Texas! This was my first trip to the festival, and it was the 50th anniversary! There were over 1,200 quilt masterpieces in the show and over 600 vendor booths!
    This sure was an inspiring place, I left feeling invigorated and excited to get back to work on another art quilt! I have never been to such an exciting and fun quilt show, I can definitely see why this is one of the top events of the world for quilters!
    I can't even find the right words to describe how honored I was to have one of my quilts hung at the International Quilt Festival! I cant wait to submit more quilts to other shows in the future!

    My husband and I were there Saturday, and I was surprised by how much he enjoyed the quilts..he also called them works of art (which they are)

    Hi Kayla, been awhile but I’m sure glad you posted this video. I love the jackets and I hope there is more video of your trip and I would love to see your quilt that was in the festival.

    I saved and bought a Bernina Q24 Qmatic longarm. It is amazing and I have no regrets

      I didn't get a chance to test drive a Bernina, I am going to not get in a hurry to buy that way I can test drive all of the major brands and make an informed decision. I'll add the Bernina to my list for the next one to test out! Thank you!

    Bought a longarm in 2018. I can say with confidence that that they do not mind at all someone test driving a machine. It is a big decision and we all know that you need to get a feel for the machine as well as whether free-motion would suit your situation better than robotics.

      That's great to know! Thanks. I do think that I need more time to decide what is best for me. For now my mom's midarm works fine for what I need. I am close to being ready for an upgrade and ine of my own, but I am overwhelmed with all the options and I want to make sure I get exactly what I need/want and not jump into anything that I will regret.

      Thanks! I have really been struggling to make time to make content because the kids are keeping me so busy! I think I have a schedule set, hoping to have weekly content again! ❤

      I have been doing more research and am now not sure the one I will go with, a lot of my opinions have changed in the past 3 weeks. I am researching into the quality of sewing, quality of customer service, what the known issues are, being able to do a lot of maintenance myself, how long it takes to get serviced if I cannot do it, all metal parts, and a few other features that are nice but not 100% necessary. Once I find the one I like the most I will make a video about it and the process of buying and setting up. I am leaning toward Nolting as of right now.
