Another Creation Started

I have decided to send my last top out to the long armer.  It's so beautiful, I just couldn't see spending all that time on it and not having it done by one.  It will be gorgeous when finished I just know.  I sent it to my dear friend Ruth who does this professionally and she does such wonderful work.  I can't wait to get it back!  But she is terribly busy and it could take a bit of time yet.  I am on pins and needles waiting....but it will be worth it.

I have already started a new one and will do it slowly over time.  It won't be as large as the last one but it will be very nice when it's done.  This one I may quilt myself.  I have my new machine and the slider as well which will make things go a lot easier.  Also going to try the new Machingers Gloves and see how they work out too.

I also have a new computer and do not quite know how to add pictures to it yet.  This Windows 8 seems rather daunting and so much more complicated.  Why do they do that....change things so often.  I do realize they are trying to perfect all the time but I guess they haven't figured out that nothing is perfect in this world and never will be unless it was created by the Divine......I will try to post pictures of the new quilt later.  May have to fire up the old lap top and see if I can get them there.

It's a long weekend here in Canada....July 1st....and I do get one more day of rest....hehehehe....that means quilting.  Have been thinking of looking into a long arm machine for myself.  It seems to me that if I do this, by the time retirement age comes around, I could have the knowledge and some experience accumulated to make it a little retirement type business.  It would keep me busy and bring in a bit of income too.  Very serious considerations on this matter.  Will keep you all posted.

Must be off and get those blocks done today.  As I said I will try to post up a picture of them as soon as I can figure out this crazy system.  Hope your day is grand.


I fired up the old lap top and here are the pictures of the new quilt top beginning.






I also have a star block to go with this but no photos as yet.  They will be a surprise.  I will post new pictures once I have completed the top.  It is going to be a lap size...no big one here although I was thinking about it. I plan to quilt it myself so I am limiting the size this time.  Have a great day everyone..................................
