What I have been up to the past few days

Over the week-end I worked on embroidering the bees to the center of the Gift Bag Swap quilt. It just needs to be pin basted and it will be ready to quilt. I am planning on trying the wool bat that I purchased at the Northern Star Quilt show. I am excited to work with the wool batting and see how I like it.

Close-ups of the bees!



Tom is at Boys Scout camp this week. So, I have lots of time to SEW!
Monday night I decided to finish quitling the borders on the E-bay Mania quilt.
Last night I worked on putting the binding on. After I had the binding sewn (but not turned to the wrong side and stitch down by hand) I told it was kind of rippley, but I decided that it should be okay, I pressed it and started to sewen the binding down by hand. I completed three sides.

This morning I got up and looked at the quilt with the rippley border and decided that it was not acceptable and I was not going to be able to press it into submission. So, after camp I spent about 1 hours unpicking everything that I did last night.

Waiting for GEORGE to arrive.

My George (quilting machine from APQS) is schedule to be delivered today.

I am really exicted. In anticipation of this event, I pin basted my Morning quilt so it wold be ready to quilt tonight.

Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Just waiting for the delivery person(s) to ring my doorbell!
