Today I’m participating in the 2015 New Quilt Bloggers Blog Hop. Â If today is your first visit to my blog, Welcome! Â My name is Vicki and I’m a longarm quilting addict.

Integrity is the adherence to moral and ethical principles; the soundness of moral character and honesty.  It’s a trait that is highly regarded in my household.  I’m sure that stems from my husband’s military service.  It’s definitely a trait that my husband and I expect our children to possess.  Today I was faced with a situation …
Every now and then we all experience quilting problems. Â Mine usually revolve around tension and the sporadic loop Roscoe will throw on the back of my quilts. Â I never really knew what to do about those pesky loops. In my early days of quilting I would just let them go. Â I didn’t want to clip …
