Quilts and Flowers (and a Hat)

 

Quite a bit of longarming went on this week:) One quilter did a great freehand job on her daisy appliqué quilt and someone else came for an introduction to longarm quilting, intending to do a traditional Devon / Welsh style quilt.

While they were busy quilting away, I did some basic ruler work and freehand on the Bloom and Grow quilt which we hope to offer as an L890 class. 

We are gearing up for FoQ at work so I did some straightforward quilting and binding on a table runner that show cases some of the Accuquilt dies. Karen and I showed off our prototype bucket hat which was easy and fun to do.

I “invented” household chores over the weekend, ticking off a list that included some dusting and floor mopping. It is high time I got stuck into quilting then I would not have time for that nonsense. At least some heavy rain and slightly cooler temperatures meant I did not have to water my plant pots daily. I am very pleased with my herb and flower towers and I am excited that some unknown  seedlings have popped up in my herby bean cans. I just hope that we don’t have a heatwave while I am away at FoQ or all of my plants might die!
