HAVE YOU BEEN DOING ANY QUILTING LATELY?


Hello Quilters!  Today I wanted to show you what I've been doing.  I know it's not much, but I have had a difficult time focusing during this pandemic.  You can see this wall hanging at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  You will have to stop in at the shop or call Chris or email her for information about this quilt.  I took everything back to the shop and forgot to write down the information.  It was really easy to make and kept me focused.  

I tried different quilting on each cat block so I'll show them to you here.



I'm also working on this applique table runner.  Hope to finish it as soon as I decide how to quilt it. Any suggestions?
And I made this hot plate holder for a friend.  She said she loves these colors.

So that's what I've been doing.  It's been difficult to go to my dark sewing room when it is so beautiful outside.  The weather is fantastic here in Michigan and everything is growing so fast, it's difficult to stay up with the weeding.  Hope you are all having a wonderful summer.  Stay healthy and stay safe.  

Don't forget, the Attic Window Quilt Shop is open for business!  Chris said, "Please join us for the BOM, Bees, and regular classes.  If you feel you are not quite ready to return to sessions yet, you may stop in at the shop and pick up your project, instructions, kits, notions, etc. Or, we can send it to you.  Don't forget, our new hours for June are Monday-Thursday, 10-5; Friday and Saturday, 10-3.  The phone number for the shop is 616-785-3357. Or you can email Chris at BrownAttic@aol.com.

Hi Caroll,
After 3 months sewing masks in production with friends´ help, I´ve used up lots of fabric but not quilted a stitch. Past time to remedy that situation, marking a friend´s wall quilt and FMQing again tomorrow, yay!
Meditating with fabric is wonderful therapy. :o) Love how you even quilted each of the cat blocks differently.
Be well, be safe and keep doing what makes you tick happily!
Hugs from Germany, Bobbi
P.S. Good luck with the new Blogger setup, looks like you´re doing fine with it! I can´t figure out where to sign up with my own email addy here on Blogger right now, so ignore my son´s addy, and mine is still bobbi@bjk-impressions.de. We´re all well here and glad you are well there! xoxo
