I am also hoping to get to die some fabrics this fall. While its cool outside.lol Hope you enjoyed your day.

I am hoping to get all the blocks finished before they release the assembly instructions.
What I need is a portable cabinet of some sort that holds all the peices and do dads that I need to sew with. And just wheel it on out the door when I want to sew and wheel it all back in when I am done. That or an enclosed patio, but that ain't going to happen while we live here. Happy Sewing everyone. We just put up a gazebo on our patio, allowing me to go outside and stitch away without a sunburn. Can't take my machine outside, but can hand quilt. Enjoy your day, and stitch away! 8-) |

Wow, thanks for the pictures - wonderful to be outdoors!

I repair outdoor covers and repurpose old tarps with my old Singer 66 Redeye handcrank. Both the back patio and front patio have been put to use, even in July.

I guess one of the reasons I enjoy quilting is that when it is rainy and cold - I can quilt. Now that it is summer and temps climb in the 90's + 3 digits, I can quilt. When it is lovely out, I walk Murphy, our dog, serve breakfast, lunch and dinner outside, but quilt in my kitchen and look out the window at the garden.
Thanks for the tip on the cool SewEzi tables.I will check them out. Enjoy a wonderful day. |
What are SewEzi tables?
