Well, you probably thought that things in GA had come to a stand still....
After sending my mother-in-law the box of 30 knitted dishcloths I thought of a project for October that could use the same knitting pattern, I've gotten 14 of them done so far but will say nothing more till the project is done. Just wanted to let you know that I'd been busy...
This past Saturday was the Loving Hands Quilt Group quarterly Quilt Till You Wilt event... this time it was to make 40+ Christmas stockings for the church's Youth Outreach in December. This time there were but a handful of eager elves to assemble the stockings. After a few technical difficulties (thread tensions, needles breaking, switching machine feet etc) we finally got a steady pace going and finished up 32 of the necessary 40. I used one of my vintage sewing machines: matter of fact, Froggy was our first vintage machine. He was purchased the last day of an estate sale in MN. The bobbin case was snarled up in thread so it appeared not to be working... we got him for $5 and have had not a minutes trouble with him since getting the thread nest out of the bobbin case :) .
We each brought home some extra stockings to assemble so I think I'll sew mine with Sarah the Featherweight and my Elna Supermatic.What fun!!! In the photo are four of the participants....Patti, Joann, Terri and myself (sitting behind the machine). Not pictured were our support and supply committee, Jean and Imogene.
It is turning cooler in the metro Atlanta area... hope that all is well in your corner of the world.
