And I like how you're piecing Glitter mainly by machine, with hand piecing those last 4 Y seams. Keep trying with the IMG.

I don't think anyone can do anything about it, as IMG told me it's their underwriters who aren't allowing refunds. I just wanted to share this because - in my opinion - no one should buy travel insurance from IMG. I sure hope my friend likes the quilt! She's a quiltmaker herself, so at least she'll appreciate the work that went into it. :-) I have used Hobbs cotton/wool batting once now, in my latest "Prudence" quilt finish (I haven't yet shared it on my blog). It quilted just fine, so I really don't know how to test it. Hmm. The quilt has been folded in a bag for a while now, so maybe taking it out and unfolding it will be telling. I've heard that because of the wool, it won't hold wrinkles, so that makes a cotton/wool batt good for a show quilt. I'll pay attention when I get it out of the bag.

I'd love for this to be a 2024 finish! Agree completely about embroidery. It's so nice to have it at-hand for stitching. I've become more particular about which designs I will take time to do, which is why I'm choosing quilting designs to embroider. Glad you liked the QuiltCon review pictures. No doubt I could have shared more, but I thought blog-readers might have had their fill of them. QC pictures still seem to be everywheree on social media.

Thank you for noticing them! And I'm glad you like the quilts I shared. I agree that Laura Loewen does a great job of making colorful quilts that lots of us like a lot. She always has several quilts accepted into each QuiltCon. She's a skilled designer and maker.

Thanks for sharing some new to me ones. I love the quilting texture of On The Verge. Your machine quilting is always so interesting and thoughtful for the shapes and piecing you do. I think it adds a lot to your quilts. Wondering about teachers with only 2 years of experience. I would think most people going to QuiltCon have been quilting for longer than that and would appreciate more experience.
