Whew! Vacation time went fast. It ended with my niece in law Jessica coming over and we spent 6 hours going through the sewing room. It's not totally done yet but at least I can find the sewing machines as well as the floor. Progress!
I also managed to make it to a free motion quilting class (3 hours for one Saturday) which was interesting. The day before I went I had problems with my sewing machine so I bought a new one. I can only afford to pay $200 for it so i found a brother for that price. So here I was going to class with a sewing machine still with all it's advertising stickers on it. Good thing i had the manual with me!
The class wasn't too bad. I need lots of practice but did learn a couple of things and the machine does quite a few stitches and a block alphabet.
The white square with all the squiggles was my practice piece from class. It's hard to see.
Then yesterday I was told I could get the office space across the hall from my current location. That gave me an office that's about 2 times as large as the one I had been in for over 10 years. Here is what it looks like...sort of. Still working on it but I thought I'd better take a picture before it gets cluttered again. You can't see the boxes that still need to be unpacked because I hid them under the desks. :) Oh...did I mention that I swapped out the desk chair for another one that we already have? Now my chair has the massage feature so after moving in all day I sat in it and turned it on. A gal might come to work with that waiting for her. :)
I decided that the space by my diploma needed something so am making this little mini. The fabric came from a basket of scraps that my friend Harmony gave me when I went down to see her on vacation.
Here is Harmony in her quilting space in her new home.
And then we are in June. June means I can finally show you one of the test blocks I did. This is for Wenche's Christmas Baltimore BOM.
Well that is it for now. I'll write more later and/or post some more pictures. Have a great weekend!
