Wow I am amazed how many comments I received on my last blog entry.

I did not know that so many people read my blog.

Looks like I will have to do more blogging!!

Happy sewing and quilting

Design Wall 3 May

The next post was supposed to be about my "50th" Birthday but this is more fun.

Here are the blocks for my next quilt.

I hope to make 2 for beds in my "new"home

Until next time

Happy sewing and quilting.

Round Robin with borders

Here is the block with its borders attached. It does change the look of it.

I hope the person who started the block likes it.

I have started a new quilt. It has 2 large applique blocks

which I hope will be large enough for a single bed cover.

I will be adding photos of my progress along the way.

Big day tomorrow.

Will let you what what it is!!

Happy sewing

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
