Doing Time

I put in some much needed practice time on the long arm today. I got the white fabric/batting loaded onto the frame, then picked a pretty thread for the top:


Then I pulled out my bobbins, you can see what happens when you do thread art - I have umteen different bobbins filled with an array of colors, let's see if we can use some up:



Here I tried some clam shell type filler:



A few more fillers:

So there is a day of play on the long arm.

Tomorrow I will be mopping and clearing tables, because I am hosting the MCQ Board meeting at my studio Thursday night.

I was blown away today when I received my The Quilt Show newsletter in my email! One of my quilts was chosen for a sashiko tutorial from Bernina! (Now if only *I* had a Bernina! lol) But, it was wickedly awesome to see my quilt on there, and on the newsletter page on the site!

Here's the quilt they put in the newsletter:



It's really funny that this happend, because just this morning I was thinking about The Quilt Show, and how thankful I am that it exists! I was so disappointed when they canceled Simply Quilts, and then when I heard about The Quilt Show I was really happy! But what makes it even better I think, is how they connect quilters from all over the world! I love it!

Awesome day!
