Design wall 25 July 2011

No quilting or patchwork on my design wall today.

I have an order for 4 tablecloths for the Music department of the

school at which my eldest daughter teaches.

They are almost ready to be delivered tomorrow.

They were such fun to do.

Musical notes appliqued on each corner.

Visit Judy for more Design wall Mondays

Tomorrow is my guild meeting and I have 2 quilts for show and tell.

It is always inspiring to see what others are doing

Until next time 

Happy quilting

Good and Bad Thursday

Today was both of the above.

First of all I was the vendor at our Midlands Guild meeting.

That is always so wonderful.

I love showing the ladies the new fabrics I have and of course the sales do help.

My disaster was my Longarm

I have had endless problems with the Stitch Length Regulator.

Teeny tiny stitches and no response from the SLR.

Eventually the Husband found the connections to the encoder wheels dirty and and good spray and clean has proved the trick.

So all is well again in MY quilting world:)

Until next time
Happy, happy quilting

Back to Varsity

We have just returned from the airport 

after leaving daughter #3 to fly back to

Stellenbosch for her third term.

It was wonderful to have her home since June the 3rd.

and hopefully we will be able to visit her in August.

At Uni in her room

Until next time 

Happy sewing and quilting

Busy day

Today was spent, where else but in my Studio!

I have loaded a customers sampler quilt.

I need some inspiration for this one. 

Sampler quilts are not my favourite.

I would love to be able to pantograph across it but feel I can do better.

Any advice is welcome

I have finished the Christmas Redwork top.

I think it looks stunning

My next project is to do a quilt to display to advertise for classes.

Happy sewing

Sorry this is a bit late.

I have been fighting a cold which became laryngitis.

I have had a nasty cough and no voice since Saturday.

I did manage to start a new top.

This is my second Christmas item.

I have progressed quite far and have all the rows done

I will be putting it all together this afternoon

Until next time

Happy sewing

Susan

All Done!

The table runner is done.

I am really pleased with it and hope it will look good on

my table at Christmas time.

I have a customers 2nd "Sisters" quilt on the frame

and hope to do that tomorrow
