Quilt Workshop.

July saw many little four-patch blocks pile up.  These will be used in the churn dash blocks. 
This quilt now has a finish date. It has been slowly but surely being quilted on my lap without a hoop.
It is now back in a hoop and the quilting is happening a block a day. Lap quilting without a hoop is not for me, this I came to realise this past week.The hoop quilting on my lap finished many a quilt. We all Have had our second vaccine and are glad to have that done and behind us. The Singer Featherweight got its first-time cleaning and going through its maintenance by me yesterday. It was so rewarding to use a product a friend helped to develop years ago, it took very little product, VARSOL. The gears is a thing of beauty and so clean. The machine is humming quietly now. Hubby was going to do this all, just never had time. So in all fairness,  his work is long hours and his machine got done first. Next week will be mine. He wants to sew leather and all sorts of stuff with his, hence we each have our own machines.

  1. I hope you didn't have the sleep problem after the second shot like you did with the first - it is nice to be fully vaccinated isn't it.
