I am going to fit the lining, then cut the satin, for my daughter's wedding dress.

Organizing... and finishing a quilted pillow I made from scratch for my daughter then put the binding on the quilt I made for my grand-daughter.
I LOVE QUILTING!
:)

Well first thing this morning is clean up. Took the dog for a walk and feeling much better about working on this thing. My problem is I just jump into things and make it up as I go along. I need to stop that. lol I am going to plan out this sewing kit and get it done. Today!

I have some not sooooo pretty fabric that I have to find a pattern for. Don't really know what the customer was thinking but wow, what a weird assortment. Maybe I will post a pic of the fabric later and see if yo guys will give me ideas.

Wow, I think it is great that you are working on your daughter's wedding dress.

Our guild is having a work day. We are going to cut out 6 hour quilts to make for charity. Each member will then take home 2 kits to sew and bring back when they are completed.
We have about 2 charity workshops per year.

I am going to try to work on the tension for my SERATA hand crank sewing machine, so I can sew with it.

We go back to North Carolina next weekend to clean the carpets and meet with the realtor to list it. Keeping our fingers crossed that it sells soon, even if it is a short sell. When we moved from Indiana to Virginia we had to pay both rent and mortgage for 15 months. Hoping this goes much quicker.

Best of luck that you sell it soon.

Good luck to you also. This is a crummy market these days!

When we bought that house almost 5 years ago, we thought that we would be retiring there. And then DH's job disappeared - thanks Obama. Thankfully (and I thank God everyday) his job contract was up but he was able to transfer within the company. So we did not have to suffer the lose of pay or benefits. Seven years ago he was fired/layedoff after 16 years with no notice, no severance and no benefits. Nothing is secure anymore - except the fact we are all paying for other people's mistakes.

Today, Monday, I have to work on a project one of my customers gave me. It will help to pay for my new machine when I "trade up".

Hand quilting on a kings sized triple irish chain for a customer. Should have about three more days and I will be finished so I can work on my own projects.
