Sew busy

Posted by julia sidebottom on October 19, 2006, 4:23 pm

Well needless to say I haven't been posting much here the last week or
so. I have been getting my grandchildren's quilts ready to go. I have
on on the quilt frame already and the other 2 I am basting together at
this time.
On top of that I am still making some other blocks that I am
committed to making. Seems as though the sewing machine never stops
these days.

The only time it stops right now has been for necessity. Like sleep
or trips to the dr. or dentist.
The big trip out was to the dentist this week. I had to have all my
teeth extracted (Ouch). I am doing ok. I will be getting dentures in
about 6 weeks. It had to be done this way because of my other health
issues. It seem that the moment that I begin feeling better than I have
in years something else just pops right in to take its place. The good
thing is that I am not in any real discomfort, I just look funny. I
sure will be glad when the swelling goes down though.
The good news is that being home and believe me going out as little
as possible right now, I am getting a lot of my quilting projects for
the holidays well under way.

I have also decided to make quilted Christmas cards this year. They
are being done in a red work design. So far the few samples I have made
myself have come out very good. This year I figure the extra effort is
worth the time since I was unable to send out cards last year. This
holiday season looks as though it will be better than the last one. I
surely hope so.
Well back to the sewing machine.

Hi all,

I have been lurking on this group for quite a while now and when I saw
Julia's post I just had to say that I am doing quilted Christmas cards too.
Each year I have been giving my family members a Christmas bauble with
writing on them - this year I decided something better needed to be done and
I am about 3/4 of the way through 27 of the cards.
I have now decided that they will get a quilted card each year with a
different theme or whatever takes my fancy.
I shall post pics when I have them finished.

Regards,

Welcome ex-lurker Di!
One of these years, I hope to be in 'not a rush', so that I will have
time to make quilted cards. I do love the idea of them - just never
managed it yet!

Hi Di,

You never told me you were into sewing let alone quilting, hows the
geneology going ?

I never thought I would 'see' you here.

Di won't recognise my 'name' here but as soon as she sees the email
address it will 'click'.
