The Quilter's Nest

The Quilter's Nest is a quilt store in Evansville, IN. It is nice and has a large array of nice fabric and lots of store samples hanging everywhere. I went yesterday and did hand work in the class room while other ladies sewed on sewing machines. I finished one more primitive applique basket and a small redwork piece. I was at the nest for around a couple hours. The co-owners are just as nice as can be. I finished another basket last night, so I have a total of 70 done. My goal is 100.The baskets are done on point. Debra Kerns taught me how to make them and gave me her pattern. I am in Evansville at the Fairfield, Marriot with Randy. He is working in Mt.Vernon for six months. Tomorrow is our 21st wedding anniversary. Wow!! How time flies.I brought my sewing machine and a number of projects to work on while I'm here. Tonight, at Commom Threads, they are having a fund raising auction. It is the guilds main fund raiser every two years. I gave money to Ruthie to bid on items for me. I wonder what we'll win?

A Road Trip to Kentucky

We are going to Kentucky to visit Toby, Ashley, Krayden and Maddox. We miss them alot, so it will be good to see them and hang out.

Quilting on Delicious

Delicious is the name of my long arm quilting machine. Last night Ruthie, from Ruthie's Quilting came to my house to give me a lesson and refresher course. I quilted a baby quilt and a wall hanging. I decided that I will think of Delicious as a big sewing machine and not something big and intimidating. So far it's working. Thank you Ruthie!
