I was absolutely
'thrilled', (pun intended ;-), when I could FINALLY quilt again after a long hiatus of over 2 weeks as a result of no air conditioning in my quilting studio during a record-breaking heat wave here in the MidWest! While I don't have the air conditioner completely fixed, was able to cool down the studio enough w/fans and partial air conditioner for my quilting machine to work comfortably. And just look what I have been able to work on - my youngest son's wedding quilt:

| The Line Tamer works great for stitch-in-the-ditch (SID) |
I would dearly LOVE to get back to this project, but today we are
acutally having a few thunderstorms and I hesitate to run my Beloved
Betty during any kind of storm soooo...I'm piecing together a quick
little farm quilt for a special 3 month old I had the pleasure of meeting over the weekend, and it's coming along
nicely:

Time to finish up,

Gosh I dislike when things interrupt my quilting time :-) I look forward to seeing your son's wedding quilt finished. I love what I'm seeing so far.
ReplyDeleteMe too! For now, I'm concentrating on stabilizing this beauty while I decide exactly how I want to quilt it, (I thought I had this ALL figured out but...while stabilizing, made some tentative quilt changes, which in turn affect the rest of the quilt and now, other changes must be made that I haven't completely resolved, yet ;-).
ReplyDeleteOne thing that gets my quilting juices flowing is to work on a quilt that I know 'exactly' how I'm going to quilt it and I have just the quilt(s) - those QFC quilt tops you sent me and a more recent QOV I just received last week. Hopefully, will be loading the Log Cabin QFC quilt top later today since I'm just about finished with my SID work on this one...
Happy Quilting!
