Round Robin

On the second Staurday in March, I joined a new group of quilters out of town (about half an hour).

They had already started a round robin block.

I was able to catch up and below is the block I received to add more rows to.

Next blog will have a update, hopefully.

Pictures and update

Here are some pictures of the quilts and tops I am currently working on.

I had a busy day today, no sewing just a visit to the attorneys and the bank.

I will be starting on a new top tonight.

I will have some pictures tomorrow

Happy sewing

Again Time Flies!!

Almost 2 months since my last blog. Shame on me!

Life has been hectically busy and I have been sewing my little(!)but off.

2 Quilts for CANSA, a quilt for a new baby, a Row by Row Christmas Quilt Courtesy of Sindy.

Three tops quilted for a customer and one on the frame for me.

Also much has happened on my living life as apposed to my quilting life.

New House purchased on the coast.

This one has lots of work to do but I am looking forward to that and who knows what that life will bring.

I hope as much happiness as my quilting.

I also did something yesterday which I always said was silly and impossible:

I SEWED MY FINGER!!

Can you believe that?

I have been sewing for more years than I can remember (Will be 50 soon) and now this happens.

Could have been a lot worse I suppose.

The needle broke and I had a piece stuck in the tip of my finger with the thread still attached. Well I yanked it out, let it bleed a bit ,

covered the throbbing finger with a plaster and carried on sewing.

Until next time

(Which I hope is not in 2 months!)

Happy sewing,

Susan

Design wall 4 Jan 2010

This is the start of a trial quilt top.

I have found that there are many seams to match

and will use another design for a charity quilt.

My daughter cut her long hair last your and donated it for wigs.
She has been approached to be a mascot for CANSA Shave-a-thon 2010.
What a difference a hair cut makes.

I also have on my wall 30 blocks for a Charity quilt

using Cure for Cancer fabrics.

Enjoy your sewing

Happy new year and Stash Report

Computer update

Hopefully my problems with the software will be a thing of the past in a few days time.
I will be loading a second operating system onto the laptop so that I will be able to use my embroidery software.
I cannot wait.
Its amazing how much I actually rely and use the software.
I was not aware of it.
One a happier note:
One new car coming up!!
Will be collecting it tomorrow.
Will post a picture soon
Happy sewing,
Susan
