Me and Ruby

I've been trying to learn pantographs and have been doing a lot of charity quilts. I am learning that not all charity quilts are not created equal or as well as our own quilts. Also when you take a break in the middle you need to remember which direction you are going. Guess it is good practice on what happens when the inside is very bias and the outside borders wave. I need lots more practice, I think freehand may be easier for me, time will tell.

Busy week...

Yesterday I went to the first meeting of the Bejeweled Club at Jeff's Sewing and Vac in Augusta, GA. It is for long arm machine owners to get together and share their experiences. The next meeting is September 20th.

Today was the first day of College for my Youngest Daughter and since she does not have her driver's license yet, I have to get her back and forth to school. This will get me focused on letting her practice driving more so that she can soon drive herself around.

I got some Royal Mail from Chris and Barbara in the UK. Their book is a wonderful reference for any quilter. They also have Mystery quilts on their blog that are free and fun to do. So, click on their names above and visit a fun quilt shop in the UK. I wish that I could go in person to thank them, but for now an email will have to do. 

Hopefully I will get some quilting done soon...

Tonga BOM block 8 and some bow tie blocks.

Cleaned up my blue/cream leftovers and sewed a few bow tie blocks last night.

 Put together this months Tonga block and added the sashing to the other seven blocks. Now I am caught up on this BOM.

Made more bow ties this evening. Next I need to finish a Regan bag for my eldest Daughter and get my Lisa's flower garden BOM up to date.
