Ann came for a free demo 4 weeks ago.
Today she and her husband Dave came back to collect her new 6 foot New English Quilter frame and get a free workshop. I asked Ann to bring some of her projects.

Ann's been a seamstress since she was very young and she makes just about anything from wedding gowns to waistcoats, cushions to quilts.
Ann noticed our New English Quilting frame just as she was leaving the Festival of Quilts this summer. So she rang to arrange a personal demonstration. Ann was excited about the kind of projects she would be able to complete with a machine quilting frame

She already had a suitable sewing machine so all she really needed was the frame and a set of Nifty Grips to fit. Ann's husband is handy so he was able to adapt a table to be just the right height for Ann to quilt in comfort.

Being a seamstress gives Ann quite a head-start as a beginning quilter. Ann's already sewing machine savvy, with years of experience and expertise that will get her get quickly up and running with her new frame.

I really enjoy it when people come to collect their frames. We had fun talking about kids and movies, places in our past and projects for the future. I can't wait to see the kind of projects that Ann will accomplish with her new machine quilting frame.

This final shot is to show just how easily
everything fits in the car. Ann can't wait to get started!
