Falling In Love Quilt Progress

-

I have actually been spending some time working on the quilting of my Falling in Love quilt this week.  It's almost half quilted!  Yeah!!


Once this one is finished, I have five more pieced tops to quilt.  I also have several projects I would like to get started on.  I just hope I'll have the time to complete them before the end of the year.

I've been spending some time this week sort of watching a live stream done by SewingPartsOnline.  They are based in Dickson, Tennessee and are a wonderful resource for machine parts, notions, etc.  I found them a couple of years ago when the new Baby Lock Aria I purchased was missing the screw to add the shaft extension needed to use many of the feet.  I've ordered from them several times since and they are always great to work with.

They do a regular, weekly project tutorial on their social media and YouTube at 11:30 Central Time each Wednesday.  The projects are beginner to intermediate and take one to two hours to complete.  They also do what they call "Sew Creative Live" every few months where they stream all day presenting information on products, have guest presenters from manufacturers and teachers, and do giveaways at the end of each segment of the live stream.  There next one is sometime in September.  

This week was the first time they did a full week of presentations and some of the giveaways were really great.  Grace Company provided them with alot of great give aways, including a mid-arm quilting machine with frame worth about $10,000.00.  I didn't win any of the giveaways, but it was really great hearing about new products coming out and learning something new from some of the tutorials.  I hope you'll check them out.  The videos are available to watch on YouTube any time.

Maybe by the end of next week I'll have the quilting done on Falling in Love and can get it trimmed and bound  That would be great.

Hope you have a great rest of the week.

 Hello everyone, This is if anyone is still checking in now and then.  Taking care of my husband has taken over everything.  By the time I have time to sew I'm too tired to bother.  They finally scheduled his back surgery for this coming Wednesday. Hopefully, it will go well.  If his back continues to deteriorate, they would have been doing it as an emergency surgery to try to keep him capable of walking.  Not that he's doing much of that these days. Diamond Grid-Layer Cake Tumble Quilt All my plans to quilt the the five or six quilt tops I've made have gone down the tubes as they say. I have a basic grid done on one of them and that's as far as I've gotten.  I had hoped to have them all quilted by the end of June so I could move on to making some of the patterns I'd planned on for this year as well as some Christmas gifts.  I don't know if I'll get to any of it now. I've gone back to work part-time to help pay some of the medical bills.  I a...

Apologies again.  I have had no time to work on any quilting or craft projects.  I've been spending all of my time at hospitals and rehab facilities making sure my husband is doing all right. Unfortunately, when he was transferred to rehab this past Tuesday after his spinal surgery, the nurses at the facility were dosing him with too much insulin.  He ended up in the ER Thursday morning with low blood pressure, low body temperature, and a blood glucose level of 30.  He very nearly died because of their stupidity.  Needless to say, he will definitely not be going back there.  Now I have to fight with his insurance to get them to cover an out-of-network rehab facility that wasn't out of network five months ago when he was there for rehab.  It's also less expensive than the place that nearly killed him.  GRRRRRR! Anyway, I hope those of you who are still checking in now and then are moving along with your projects.  I would love to do something ...

Hello all, I've been very busy lately.  I'm still sorting through my late husband's things of course, but I've also been making time for my hobbies.  I finished quilting one of the quilt tops I had hoped to quilt last year, I'm working on another afghan, and finally got around to making two new 18" pillow covers for my living room. Layer Cake Tumble Quilt   Current Afghan Project Buttercup Pillow Covers I still have a few quilt tops to quilt and a few new projects I want to start.  I hope to keep things rolling along even if my progess is a bit slower than I would like. There is a small group of Holy Union Sisters living at the senior assisted living facility where I work part-time.  They are planning a mass in memory of my late husband Gerry sometime this month.  They're a very kind group of ladies and have been very considerate of me and of Gerry before he passed.  It was kind of them to offer to do this mass for him and I appreciate it very much as ...
