Next Session Quilts

Here's a little peek at the 3 projects that I'm teaching in the next session at The Happy Quilter. All quilted and bound! Yippee!!

Sunday

After the busy weekend I did some sorting/cleaning up/procrastinating in my studio. Here's a future project that I cut strips for.....

and this is almost quilted, but I'm stalling while I figure out what to do in the borders.

This is something I should get to but didn't - this is an old cabinet where I keep my fabric..

and this is what the inside looks like. That's a project for another day!!

Blind Hem Stitch

How many of you have this stitch on your machine and have never used it? Until today, I could say that described me. I've had two pair of pants in the closet for about 6 months now waiting to be hemmed and today, I finally decided to look in the manual and find out how to do this! Why did I wait so long?!?!? Just make the hem look like the one in the diagram in your manual, put the #5 foot on with some matching thread, and it's practically done before you start. I was going to hand stitch another hem down during the Yankee game tonight (keep your fingers crossed - yes, I am a fan) but I think I'm going to run up to the studio and do it before the first pitch!!!

Brownstone Quilters

I just dropped off two quilts for the Brownstone Quilters Guild Show today. It's next Friday and Saturday and you can get all the information and directions to the show here.
It is sure to be a wonderful show - definitely worth getting there to see all the beautiful quilts.

Husdon River

This was the river at breakfast....

and this was after my run this AM. Different boat!

I love to watch how it changes. Now off to get something (sewing-wise) done.

Too Much Fun!

Here is the current view across the river. We are having so much fun watching the colors explode during our first fall here.

This is a cool, new strip ruler....

and here is one of the projects for it that I'll be doing in the next session as a One-Day-Wonder.

And here are two photos of a quilt for the next session. I have been having sooooo much fun doing the quilting on the 820 - and all the other sewing, too! Invisible thread in the top and bobbin and it just hummmmms along.

Catching Up

I have been sewing, just not posting! Here's what been going on here. This first one is a donation quilt and I think it might just be the weirdest quilt I have ever made. It's bound and ready to go. At least it will keep someone warm!

These are parts that will become a class sample using the new Bali Pops. They are gorgeous!

This is on its way to being a large basket. Another way to use up scraps! Can you see the Hudson River in the background? It is a wonderful view. I'm looking forward to the fall colors on the Palisades.

This is for a very beautiful three-year-old who just was just adopted from Ethiopia by some special relatives. It's bound and washed and ready to send off to her.

And this is a sample for an upcoming class at the Happy Quilter.
