Well today, after a lot of research, I took the plunge and bought a Nolting Hobby Quilter for my frame. Daniel at Nolting was absolutely fantastic and helped us out loads with the electric conversion stuff etc and came out with lots of tips. The courier will be sent next week so hopefully will be here in the not too distant future. I can't wait!! Now just to make some tops to quilt....

I also found a lump this morning and have to have biopsy tests and things so I'm glad I have quite a few blocks cut ready for all those lovely waiting room visits!! :roll:

Congratulations on your new machine!! Best wishes and prayers for good results with your biopsy tests. Karen

First day of our 5th Quilt Show We had over 100 attendee which may not sound like much but it is 3x as many as we had last year on Friday. We are a small rural community and we do not get a lot of people come out this way. We are really pleased. I am doing demonstrations of a string quilt block and a MILE A MINUTE patch.

I finished machine quilting a quilt my daughter made. I have more quilting to do then I have time to do it.... don't you just love it.

finished a small haning with grapes on it for the door. It was a bought pattern that I started before other things with deadlines got in the way. Came out quite pretty and really easy to make. Take a pic. later and post it.

Now I need to plan a banner for a girl who fought brain tumors and the whole family participates in walk-a-thons. Grandma wants a banner to wave at the finish line. the last W-A-TH raised 79,000.00 for the Jimmy fund. Way to go Kira.

Anyway, I have found inspiration to start my September Journal Quilt and I also found a couple of quilt kits in a sale so I snaffled them and will do them for the 2012 Olympic Quilt appeal.

Pleased with today very muchly!!!

[KakeM]

Great news Amoret.
I finished binding a quilt I started in 2002. I am going to continue finishing up as many UFO I can. I have been stitching a stitch at a time on a quilt that my friends grandmother started for her. It is a grand mothers flower garden quilt.

[KakeM]

Thank you, lovely Ladies all!! Hope you bought lots of good stuff Cheryl!! :wink:

Today I did some more to the binding on the tree skirt for daughter and then visited a friend with a broken foot. I could have sold that tree skirt at least ten times already!! :roll: But it's for my little girl and not for sale.

Now the evening telly is on I will retire to my eyrie and sew whilst hubby watches whatever is on through his closed eyelids!! :lol:
