Design wall 28 February

My design wall today is the diningroom chair.

I have started a new quilt.

It is a single wedding ring block

which was demo'd at our last guild meeting

I think this will make a wonderful quilt

I have also finished the log cabin top but for one last border

Thanks to Judy at http://www.patchworktimes.com/ for the challenge. 

Happy quilting and sewing

Design wall 21 February 2011

This time my design wall is the floor!

All the blocks are done for the log cabin

They have been labled so that I sew them together in the right order.

Log cabin blocks set out



I have also completed my "sister quilt"
This I will be taking to our guild meeting tomorrow for
show and tell.

I have also been very busy with customers quilts and have
quilted 4 tops this month with another waiting on the frame

Until next time

Happy quilting

First sock!

Here is my first sock.

I think it looks super and

 I hope the next one works just as quickly

 and the sizing matches!!

First sock completed

I have also finished the top of my "sisters" quilt

 so this needs to be loaded on the frame for quilting.

Until next time

Happy knitting and quilting

That time of the year

I did not manage much sewing or knitting yesterday as I have Doctors visits for my annual check up
Today is the followup and then this afternoon I am off to my first guild meeting of the year.
It will be good to met up with my fellow sewers and get fired up for the year to come.

My Sisters top has 5 rows done when I discovered that I was short of one block.I hope to finish the top by the weekend and then work a bit more on the log cabins.

I have done the heel on the sock and I am busy with the gusset. It is such fun!
Until next time,
Happy sewing and Knitting
Susan
