I am not sure where the hours, days, months are disappearing to this year. I seem to have been very busy but I don't think I have achieved much or have a lot to show. I cant believe it has been two weeks since my last post.
I collected my sewing machine from the shop and the technician has given it a good clean and service, he replaced the thread cutter which when pressed was making a dreadful noise and of course wasn't cutting the thread. The machine itself sounds much healthier and is running smoothly. I took the opportunity while it was away to give my frame a brush down, secured all the screws and gave the rails a polish which was recommended on a post on the Grace Frame users Facebook page. So I duly loaded it all up last week and finished off the zipper quilt I was in the process of quilting when the machine had a tizzy.
I have continued with Techies quilt and now have the 4 large blocks and 3 of the 5 small blocks completed and I added a pop of colour to one of them to see how it looks.
All the babies have arrived their quilts have been delivered. Findlay, Harry, Zachary, Amelia, Ellen, Jack, Imogene and Angus. The quilt photos are now all on the Gallery page.
The Marie Curie charity have been in touch with me and I have been busy making a few smaller items for sale on the Market Stall they will be having in November. Good fun and useful for using up my smaller pieces of fabric but a bit disjointed and fiddly. I hope my wee items will help boost the funds, help them raise awareness and find more volunteers in our local community to support the work they carry out caring and supporting people through terminal illness.
I will be continuing work on Techies quilt this week and I must make a start to some items I need to make for Christmas - I was told its only 9 weeks - I am sure you didn't really want to know that! Have fun.
