Continue reading →: Farewell old friend, welcome new loveThis is the Juki TL98E, I believe it’s the first of the Juki TL series. I was designed with a wider open area to accommodate quilting. I bought in 2000 after I purchased the very first HandiQuilter frame. It was a tabletop frame, even more rudimentary than a Grace frame.…

They aren’t real, they are gluten-free sourdough. I made burger buns, biscuits and crackers. I’ll split the biscuits and buns with Mom. She’s not so enamored with my…

Hello,
I’m Vicki
I’m Vicki Welsh and I’ve been making things as long as I can remember. I used to be a garment maker but transitioned to quilts about 20 years ago. Currently I’m into fabric dyeing, quilting, Zentangle, fabric postcards, fused glass and mosaic. I document my adventures here.
