I do have a ton of fabric in my house - let's just say my stash is huge, but then I would be lying because Clint likes to sell everything we have. Every now and again a line comes out that I have to have! So, a lot of begging, and later Clint finally agreed that this lovely bundle is all mine!
Reunion by Sweetwater
It's a must have in my book. I plan on making my boy's quilts out of this fabric line - wish me luck on getting that done at some point. Hehe!
Okay - here are some answers from my last post - I would like to write everyone back individually, but it will be best for me to just answer here.
Q: Where did you get your ruler?
I got it from my long arm dealer --A-1
I am going to look into getting some for our site - stay tuned!
Q: Do you stitch in the ditch before you quilt your sash?
I stitch in the ditch every seam- I believe quilts look better if you do. Also, stitching in the ditch allows me to do a lot of "traveling" with my thread. So the answer is yes, I do stitch in the ditch before I do the sash decorative quilting.
Q: Do you spritz or spray water to get your purple marker out?
Do you wait until the whole quilt is done?
I use the disappearing purple marker, but I am a little impatient and I want to see the results of the quilting right away. So, I spray water right after I am done working on a block and wipe the excess water with left over batting pieces.
Q: When do you mark your quilt?
I mark the quilt as I go - I don't mark anything before the quilt is on the racks and ready to go.
I hope that covers the questions asked that I didn't get a chance to answer. Oh, one more thing - I used 2 layers of Hobbs 80/20 batting on Thelma's Civil War quilt.
That should about cover it. Phew!
Okay - enough with the questions and answers - check out these three new lines in our shop!

I love reunion too. I have boys and wanting to make a bed quilt. Thanks for the tips on quilting. Love your work.
Swooning over that fabric, too! :o)
Tell Clint that your readers said you need more fabric! :)
Thank you for posting the Q&A's - they were actually some of the questions I had too.
I enjoyed the question and answer session...I do hope you have more of it in the future.
the only other q... maybe it did not get posted if you could buy any longarm would you stick with what you have or try another brand
Thank you for answering all the questions. Did you feel like you opened a can of worms? You are very kind to share with us and then answer questions. I love Reunion too but I have to wait until after Christmas, but it first on my list. Oh and thank Clint for the excellent service and shipping.
If I had a business like yours, there'd be no room left in my house because I'd want it ALL!!! I don't know how you resist.
That new fabric is SUPER cute!!
