Angela's quilt

I have just finished trimming Angela's Thimbleberries BOM 2008 to take it to her at the workshop we are hosting with Lynne Edwards this week. Today is the final of three days of "curvy things".

In order to accomodate Anglea's quilt, I have now extended the table for my machine to 12 foot. Thankfully the room it's in is about 12foot 6 inches long!! I had thought I'd take the table down again to 8 foot but I have now changed my mind and I am ready to quilt all sizes up to about 11 foot wide. I have no other quilts waiting to be quilted so I think it's time to finish another of my own, but I need to source some wide backings first.

It's feeling a lot like Christmas

I have been waiting impatiently to buy in some wide backings and wadding to enable me to finish my own quilts and also have some for clients. I have now found out that the two references I gave haven't replied. So I'll have to wait a little longer. I can't wait to be able to stock some Riley Blake and Accuquilt too.

I have finished a quilt for myself this week, having recovered eventually from the nasty chest infection that's doing the rounds locally.

Farmer's Wife Friday

After having quilted two pieces for others on my long arm last week, this week has been very quiet as I recover from a chest infection. Everyone seems to be suffering with one bug or another this month. Today I have finished one farmer's wife block and also a challenge block for Chez Soi which now needs the official wadding and to be quilted.
