I have to "unsew a row of machine quilting that didn't satisfy me. No fun but I want it right.I do professional longarming.Funny how it can take 10-15 min. to stitch originally but will take several hours to unsew.
But this weekend I will make up for that by going to Hummingbird Hills Retreat in Ky. www.hummingbirdhillsretreat.com

Really just a few things to pack or put away and then folding up the tables and getting my cutting table back in the sewing room.
Wasn't a very busy Fri/Sat but we managed to make about $350 on stuff we didn't want or didn't have room for so that's good! The neighbors who helped made a fair amount too.
So maybe I need more fabric???????????

You all sound so ambitious. I am babysitting for 2 grandchildren today. Hope to get the bias binding I cut and sewed end to end yesterday pressed and ready to put around potholders I have been working on. Baby steps I figure are best. Have a nice day.

I am quilting sofa size quilts (42x72) for three teenagers from problem homes. I found nine "words to live by" (about 5 by 8 inches). The words are black on off-white linen. Example: love, achieve, accomplish, enjoy etc. They are all Christians so the words are placed in the form of a Cross in the middle with bold bright colors. Before I began I cut one word out, measured and washed to be sure they would not shrink or the black letters would not run when the quilt is washed. Tonight the third one in being quilted with shades of pink and mauve around the words for a thirteen year girl. God bless. Quilting Joan

Sewing Goals for October 26, 2010:
1. Finish a Circular quilt top I've been working on since like August
- Piece and sew borders on
- Sew on the last major border for the quilt top
- Sandwich and start drawing design onto the top
2. Study Calculus- Continuity
3. Continue my quilting, if the storm front Louisville's expected to be hit with doesn't delay me.
4. Assemble new sewing table (no, I didn't get this done last time :x) )
Well, I dunno, this sounds a bit on the overly-ambitious side, but striving for it. Hope everyone gets their tasks for the day done!! :)
