saturday is alright


I forgot to show you I finished the Stones quilt the other day! I like it. I have to say the wavy lines quilting is VERY forgiving! Not sure it worked to build my patience with machine quilting, but it was fun anyway!Just a few other goodies on the design wall... to many ideas, so little time...
not enough wall space!

OH! I finally got my Janome 4800 machine fixed after three machine repair people in my hood messed it up and rendered it unusable for over a year.... I was able to send it direct to the company after speaking with the Janome people in Houston. Well that alone mad emy trip worth it!
I had it back a few days later and sews like a dream...once again...

    I am now officially convinced that you have more hours in the day than I do. What do you have 40? 45 hours? Love the wavy lines. I did that on a Nemo ocean quilt once.

    Great stuff. I am so happy that you got your machine back. I don't know the back story, but I am sorry the local shops messed it up so badly, but happy to know Janome could and did fix it both quickly and right.

    How wonderful to have another quilt finished - well done! It's a really lovely one too. Love the circles and that pinky colour.

    I'm not sure I could handle seeing all my unfinished work on a wall like that. Too much pressure. I prefer to hide my projects.

    Wow, I absolutely love your stones quilt and everything about it. Fantastically quilted. Your design wall is inspiring to look at, I'm sure if I had three of them, I'd manage to fill them up.
