Is it just my imagination, or have things been quiet here the last few days?
I've put aside the Tree Everlasting that I was machine quilting because I
was about to throw my SM out the window. I know, I know, the problem was
between the machine and the seat of my chair, but one is inclined to blame
the SM, isn't one? -- like one blames ones computer.
I have started cutting and piecing a Churn Dash from calico solids and
traditional floral prints. The blocks are 12 inches square. It's a very
simple pattern, but imagine my surprise last night when I found that the
templates I was referring to in an old magazine for the the measurements of
my quick-piecing were wrong, wrong, wrong. No harm done, and I thought I
was very clever for catching the geometric error as soon as I did.
Tonight, I am dividing my attention between continuing to piece the calico
quilt top and making a picnic lunch for tomorrow's big polo match.
So what are you people up to? Betting on the World Series? On football
games? :-)

I'm cutting fabric for a quilt for my sil's Christmas gift. Bought it today
on a little shopping trip. And I'm also busy quilting my customer quilts so
I can take December off! I should be at my machine now.......

I'm on the road for 10 days, driving out to PA to visit our son and
his wife and family. No phone, no stresses for the next week or
so...ah, heaven! Fabric is all set out in the sewing room for a warm
wishes quilt when I return.
Right now all I can concentrate on is seeing my little granddaughter
again and playing doting G'ma! Donna

When I get tired of quilting, (Why should that even be possible?), I
switch over to another type of creative endeavor. I'm making myself a
new sewing table with lots of drawers for the Janome 1600. I haven't
been using that machine because it didn't have it's own table, with
the ability to store all the many feet and other bits, that go with
it. They were spread out among various drawers, all around the room,
and now they are going to be combined in one hot sewing table. I so
can't wait to get this thing finished. Pictures will follow in a week
or so. Then it's back to quilting, with renewed enthusiasm.

I love churn dash. Never made one, but I want to. Please a post of
picture of
yours!
I've been trying to decide whether to hand-quilt a finished top, or
finish up
2 baby quilts (all they need is washing). Or start on a HUG quilt for
a friend
whose having a really hard time. The handquilting probably must take
a
back seat because that one is just for me, and the others are for
friends.
DH had surgery last week and I've been waiting on him hand and foot.
It
cuts into my quilting time. He's nearly back on his feet.
