It doesn't look cleaned up, but its much better than it was. Now to get some projects done, so it will be inspiring and not overwhelming. (Abe, Qov, t shirt quilt, betsy ross flag, notepad covers, thread catchers, 4 customer quilts, scrap management). What does your room look like today?

And just like that, my tactful tacker pattern is available, digital and printed. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along this path, and helped me be more patient with myself. Block, step by step videos starting next friday.

I wish things wouldn't go so fast, or things to take so long to accomplish them. In my mind, I feel I can get a task done in an hour and it takes 3. After fighting with tension on my long arm yesterday for 2+ hours (replaced check spring assembly, whiplash spring, and needle) i am close, but its still not as perfect as I'd like it to be. Anyone have a magic time stopping device I can use to get a few things done?

Today it is finally raining and all my hard work dethatching and push mowing the acre back yard is paying off. The grass is GREEN. I am also working on a customers t shirt quilt so I can get it on the long arm next week, and then 2 other custom quilts. What are you working on?

I had a great jacket class, and even taught some ladies how to seam rip more efficiently. Now for some virtual sewing with some friends, and a hot dinner date.

Look what I found... right where I left it, under some stuff. Hope the quilting gremlins stay out of your studio's.

The story of the missing quilt. Have you ever made a quilt and not remembered where it is or what you did with it? Not in the quilt cabinet, not in the top of the closet, not a single completed photo in my camera.... lost in space. Please share your lost item story.
