Love Quilts

 I’ve been chipping away at the pile of love quilts to be quilted. I got the tool to unlock my motors and away I went. 





Happy Thanksgiving to all.  I hope you have a very blessed day!

We will be having a easy day, turkey, Mac and cheese, and green bean casserole. There are two apple pie desserts and a cheese cake in the fridge.

It just us three ladies here, me, DIL and GD.  🐸

Quilting Update

 I have lost some quilting mojo as of late. That may be from not feeling well and/or my long arm being serviced or both. 

Did get my long arm Maxine back from the spa and she proceeded to have a connection issue with the USB ports. After help from A we determined that the circuit board is bad.  She got on the phone with HQ and a new one is on its way.  With shipping the way it is I might get it next Friday or not.  Anyway I can still quilt, using free motion so that is what I’ll be doing. Maybe some ruler work.

This one was done with the motors still engaged so not as smooth.  Some child will absolutely love it!  I finished sewing the binding down this afternoon.




And my latest Sewcialites Blocks:

My Update

 My last three months have not been easy.  Colitis has had me in the bathroom.  I have had a CT scan and a colonoscopy. Preliminary diagnosis is microscopic colitis and so far I have been directed to stop taking my arthritis medication. It has helped tremendously.  This is when you find out that the arthritis medicine really does work.  Ugh but I manage to make it through each day and have my accomplishments.

Yesterday I turned in four children quilts ready for giving.  Here is one.  I used a zig zag digital quilt pattern and so fine thread.



Also working on finishing up tops...




Sewcialites blocks.


I just finished the latest released Sewcialites blocks and will show them on the next blog post.

My HQ Forte 24 is in the shop and I hope to have it back towards the end of next week.

Stay safe and stitch some comfort into your life!  🐸
