Sewing Machine Covers...


I spent the day with friends creating

Sewing Machine Covers 


We were all gifted a pack of charm squares...

my charm squares are:

Stitched by Fig Tree Quilts for Moda Fabrics






I lined my cover with 

Pellon Fusible Flex Foam

to help it keep its shape...




It is FUN stitching through this foam !





Of course.....I had to make more than one !





This charm pack is

Home on the Range by Deb Strain





Machine quilting is done...

time to stitch the cover together.





The flex foam helps it stand up at attention !





I am taking this one home to use on

my Bernina in the Thread Shed...





We didn't use a pattern but you can probably

find  a sewing machine cover tutorial online.


We have 24 newborn calves on the ground

with lots more to go!

I will post images and videos as soon as I can.

Summer....Catching Up with You

 

Hay season is behind us...

the winter's hay supply is safely tucked away

in the barns.



Canadian Thistle







Queen Ann's Lace



So what have I been up to?


Mask Making




I am well over 100 masks...

they seem to go out of here as fast as I 

can stitch them up!




I have been playing around with improv piecing

since April...



In June I put this little 48 x 48 

improv top together.

I decided I wanted it for a new lap quilt...


So I pulled off the borders:


and started adding more sections 

to make it longer.



I lead a Jello Printing Class today

for the Harlan Valley Quilters:


We used Versatex and Speedball printing inks
on the jello plates.

They gave us lots of open time,
especially in 90 degree weather.....eek!

We printed on white cotton fabric.




This was my teaching table...





I must have been busy...

these are the only images I captured all day!


That catches you up on my summer....so far.

Pincushion Thread Catcher.....Class


I attended a Quilt Retreat this week...



We started out the retreat by stitching up

Pincushion Thread Catchers





If you have never made one of these,

there are a lot of online tutorials out there...





Once you make one,

you will wonder how you got along without it.
