Bernina Makeover
Catching up while sitting down
It has been a physically overwhelming week but soooo much was accomplished.
My mother and friends took two days and transformed our garage into a shop for my boyfriend and laundry area for all. We pushed but it is a great shift in space. Now he can be creative as well.
Had a wonderful class at Eddie's Quilting Bee - second in the series of three for French braid. There are some really inventive quilts being created. This is the first time I have had a students do the appliquéd center as well as the stained glass black outlines.
Finally started on my fourth in series of Goddess Fabric Collages which I am doing with my women's group. This one for FREYA seemed harder to make time for and things kept getting misplaced. I am on task now and will post photo as it gets further along. Next ones will include Aine, Lilth and Baba Yaga.

Delta Quilters Visit
Great evening seeing old friends and seeing the amazing work done by my friends.
The challenge quilts were great generating both laughter and tears. From a "Balanced Boobs Bra" with Republicans on one cup and Democrats on the other to the touching quilt that had ties from a recently passed away veteran and is going to a quiet room in Escondido. Kathy Brito did a great job taking over the challenge.
Finally their opportunity quilt is amazing - get tickets! The appliqué and flower runching are beautiful and the quilting alone took 9 days!

Sunday thoughts
Yesterday at Eddie's Quilting Bee, I taught Cathedral Simplified. We had a great time both sewing and discussing world travel. I loved the color combinations and will post the photos.
I am very excited to see a long arm quilting machine coming into my life! The Queen Quilter table top version is small enough to fit in my space but still do a great job. I can finally finish those quilt tops and keep moving toward the goal of a creative turn in my professional life. Now to rearrange the sewing room - that will be a challenge but well worth it.
Off I go to complete the long overdue class sample for Queen B's Quilt Shop - jeweled paper piecing. I WILL finish the blocks today!
