I am sure on a roll!
Another log cabin complete and bound!
Working on guild charity items to be quilted,
one is complete and another is started.
Our local guild usually ties the quilts but
I took a few unfinished ones home to stitch up on my domestic.
They were pillowcase turned and a line
of stitching run around the outside to
close the turning hole and stabilize the quilt sandwich.
I am finishing them up by stitching quilting lines that
either follow the piecing lines or compliment the pattern.
The first one, a disappearing nine patch, received
a 6 inch grid pattern.
The next one is a concentric
strip quilt and I am quilting the diagonals and between
in matching colors.
These are donated charity quilts so I
feel comfortable showing a portion of them!
Woot, woot! The machine is working
well, threads are flying. My two thread bunnies
are busy collecting the trimmed off threads!
trimmed and clipping a cutoff piece of batting
to my tall thread guide or stuffing it in a cup,
really keeps my socks from becoming thread catchers!
I even managed to attend
a quilt show meeting. My very first one and it has
really opened my eyes on what goes on behind the scenes.
I am part of the intake team. Secrets have been revealed!
I will get to see all the beautiful quilts first hand!! Wowzer!
Finishing up some entries had me fighting with my
printer! The printer won and I managed to completely
block myself from the internet while trying to
connect it. The learning from this is to: be brave!
It turns out my printer does not like the cloud so I just PDF
what I want to print and it will come out perfectly!
Here is a mug shot of the evil printer!
The solution to reconnecting to the WWW was to
just go back and undo a few of the LAN (local area network)
changes I made while trying to make the printer connect.
After a little internal turmoil, (like in a dream when you
can't remember your locker combination from high school),
it rebounded perfectly and I feel like a hacker!
Stay safe and be brave with your tech!
