Progress on table runner

Two of the 5 blocks done

I have managed to start adding the corner triangles to the blocks.

The inside designs were machine embroidered. I will 

be using the same fabric for the triangles and the binding.

I am hoping to complete a customers quilt today as I have 3 waiting as well as wanting to do a few of mine to catch up.

Fathers Day

Today I am having the family for lunch and then my parents will come for tea and to see the new Studio

I have been very busy with customers quilts and have only had time to do my "homework" for my embroidery class which is on Tuesday.

I have completed a table runner and a centre table cloth with in total 10 designs. It was a lot of sewing but most enjoyable and I did manage to crotchet the beginnings of a blanket for charity.

I hope all Dads out there have a wonderful Fathers Day

Thursday June 9

Well today is officially one of my off day.

Shop hours are Monday Wednesday and Friday 9 to 2.

I did manage to add borders to my "going green" snowball top 

while waiting for a customer to bring a top for quilting.

It was then off to His factory to pay accounts and check the books.

Yesterday I did go down to "Toti to visit with a shop-owner who

was very helpful and encouraging.

We drove through the most horrendous downpour but got there safely.

Pietermaritzburg is currently having real winter weather and we are freezing

This is a good time to sew!!

Until next time

Sewing Time

Yesterday was MY sewing day.

In the morning I had a lesson with my local Bernina store.

A rather complicated lesson on cutwork using 6 designs in a circle.

It is amazing how dull your brain becomes when not doing Math all day!!

The embroidery needs to be complete in 2 weeks time so that we can do the hems.

I have completed one table runner and hope this next cloth will go as easily now that it is all marked.

In the afternoon I had 4 friends come past to sew.

We offered to complete 2 tops for a fellow quilter who had recently passed away.

She had half completed projects in a box. They are Japanese folded squares which will completed and then joined together. These tops will be passed onto her grandchildren.

I hope to show you something next post.

Until next time 

Happy sewing and Quilting
