    Oh, I forgot that this weekend is the VQW! I think I'm going to try to get to the point that I can finish putting all the blocks during the VQW. In other words, I'm starting today

    That's beautiful. I love the piano key border. Congratulations on getting it all put together!

    I finally have all the blocks sewn. It is now set aside for a bit - I have been in weaving mode and a vintage circular sock machine followed me home a couple of weeks ago:-) I do love playing with new toys and there has been a bit of a learning curve.

    Ah, so that's what you have been up to, Theresa! I wondered where you were Your ORL blocks are so pretty and coordinated. They are going to make a beautiful quilt.

    A vintage sock machine! How cool is that? How does it work? Do you crank the handle to make the stitches? That looks like so many stitches, I guess you have to use pretty fine yarn? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just fascinated!

    I just finished all my boom swap blocks yesterday, so now to put all that mess away (all the fabrics and audition fabric that didn't make it all the paper templates made for the blocks etc...) and hopefully get back to work on Ringo's Sister.

    Wow, avgquiltr...your BH mystery quilt is fabulous. Great job! I hope you will post another photo after it has been quilted...I always love a piano key border.

    tcsweaves, your quilt is coming along wonderfully. I’m sure you will be delighted when it’s finished.

    Yes, you set up what is called a cast-on bonnet and just crank away. As with quilting and weaving, there is another language to learn:-) Hey, that means I am finally bilingual, I can speak weaving, basic quilting, and csm. LOL I have never understood knitting yarn sizes, but so far I have knit with sock yarn and 2 strands of 2/9 wool. The learning curve has been an interesting combination of fun and frustration, but I keep going back for more. I have also been playing on my latest sewing machine which is a Singer 99 handcrank. These vintage machine are just fascinating to me. They were such an amazing breakthrough in technology for the time and had to ease that huge burden of handwork on the average family. Just think of the wonder to be able to crank out a pair of socks in an hour or so verses handknitting them. Too cool
