Up early to play with my new sewing machine:
Not too fancy just right for me. Had to get up early, Ky stayed overnight and I knew she would want to get busy with my new machine. So while she slept in I went through piles of stash and pulled all fall colors to work with
Sewn a few blocks together, but haven't put anything into rows yet. Still working out the color scheme. I'm thinking I have to pull the burgundy out. I love the color, but I think it is just wrong with the other colors.
Met with new quilt shop owner yesterday. Twin Turtle Quilts in Clinton WI. This is going to be a very nice shop. She is going to sell some of my patterns through her shop, and in hopes of doing some workshops through her shop as well. I look forward to working with her. She is having a grand opening end of this month and I plan on attending sometime that weekend.
Still have much to do before the October 22nd Edgerton Quilt show. I will have my annual booth at the show, entering Forever Diamonds in the show. Also, doing a half hour demonstration in the morning of the show. This year, I am giving a free quilt pattern (one of my original designs) to each person that brings me a quilt top to be quilted. This offer will be good through the end of this year.
Ky managed to get herself up, took a shower and then she came and played in the sewing room. She has found fabrics for 3 tote bags, and fabrics to start yet another quilt.
I tried showing her how to hand sew the binding on her 9 patch, but this was very difficult for her and frustrated quickly. I will sew this on for her this time, and the next one I will show her how to do a machine binding with fancy stitch. She likes this idea.
