NQA 42 Annual Quilt Show

I received confirmation of my class at the quilt show. It will be Saturday morning June 18. I am taking a class in Sashiko and am really looking forward to it. The afternoon will be spent rushing around the show and vendors. I am taking my running shoes.

Have a great day.

Friday night in ruins

Friday evening I was all set to sew and then the worst happened. Well maybe not the worst but certainly not a good thing for a FNSI. I was on call for work and got paged to come in.

Result: no sewing at all and no pictures at all.

Sorry. I blew it.

Have a great day.

FNSI

Tonight is the official FNSI. I have been working on my "Winning Hands" blocks all week long. I have completed about 15 of the 33 blocks needed for the king size top. I will try to take pictures as I progress tonight. (I know,I know I have promised before)...give me a break. Once I start sewing I don't even stop for bathroom duty until I absolutely have to.

Have a great weekend.

Rhapsody from Strip Club

The last two evenings have been filled with laying out the strips for the Rhapsody design. My quilters design table is just not large enough to spread out everything. I will have to get out my side table tonight to continue with the pattern. Since I am using a scrapy look the pattern has be to layed out piece by piece before any sewing can be done. I think it will turn out nice.
REMEMBER: Self, take pictures to share.
Have a great day.

Danish Scones

The quilt top is complete. The binding and backing have been chosen. All is in a separate package for the day when I get my quilting frame up.

This morning I had an epiphany on the way to work. My studio design was to include the quilting frame in the same room as the sewing machines. Now I am thinking that once I get everything out of the old sewing room and into the Studio I can set up the frame in the now empty sewing room and name it the quilting room. I can run a cable from the Dish transmitter in the Studio into the Quilting Room and set up a TV to watch my quilting and sewing programs. I will put the old DVD player in there and can watch all the movies that DH does not like.

What a mind bender!

Have a great day.
