DELAYED!

We are currently experiencing a "Truckers Strike" 
which means that my machine is stuck in a warehouse.
I am so grateful that I did not dismantle my Voyager 
and so I can still quilt customers orders.
I am hoping to get the delivery tomorrow 
but that hardly seems likely.
Watch this space!

 I have been notified that my super duper new quilting machine arrives today.
I am in the process of rearranging the Studio
and will have to make space for the bigger machine
Cannot wait!!!

Busy time

Life has been super hectic since the retreat.
I have Youngest Daughter home for a 10 day Holiday
And lots of catching up to do
I will not be working on the retreat top until I stop quilting for others which will end in November.
I have ordered as Lucey APQS machine which should be arriving within the next 2 weeks
I am super excited about that and I am also in the process of selling my Voyager which I have used since 2008.
Tomorrow is a busy day with a trip to Durban so that the Youngest Daughter can return to Varsity
and I am helping to set up a stand at our local Garden Show in the afternoon after I have visited 2 Fabric shops in the Durban area.
I am off to Cape Town on Thursday for the long weekend so will only get to my work on Wednesday morning with a class on Tuesday morning first and then Sewing Ladies in the afternoon.
I hope to have some photos to show for Design wall Monday
As you can see there is lots going on in my life and I am living it to the full
Happy sewing

Off to the retreat

I am ready to go
I just wish the rain would stop
Still that will not dampen my spirit and
 I am grateful for the week end away

Goodies for the weekend not forgetting the "sweeties"
The view fron my front door :
Rain and more rain

Until Monday
Happy sewing

5 blocks

One quarter of the top done
Progress so far 
I am pleased but still need to make many more blocks
Susan

Catching up

After a slow start I did manage to complete 5 blocks on my "Just take 2" top
That's real progress as some days I hardly manage one!
The Tuesday Quilters met this afternoon
Two of us are going on a retreat this weekend and we sorted our fabrics for the classes we will be taking.
I have mine already cut and packed and I am looking forward to a sewing filled weekend
Photos to follow
 (Heard that before)

Quilter Attack

I have come to a major decision:
No more quilts until I am all caught up!
I am participating in the "Just take 2" challenge and I am horribly behind
About block 29 of 66. Wow I have a lot of catching up to do!
I have completed one quarter of the top only.
I do have a picture which will follow soon
Wish me luck!!
