NaBloPoMo 2016 Day 22


I am finding that I enjoy quilting.  Mom suspected she would bring me to the dark side!!  All I need is another hobby!!  But one I will happily add to my ever growing list!  I do however need some supplies!  Mom cut the fabric for my Advent Table Runner for our church communion table and I sewed it together and will do the quilting on it by machine today.  What I did find was after sewing the strips together I needed to trim down the edges to make them all nice and straight again.  I don't have the needed tools to do this easily so had to use my scissors.  I have added a cutting board, ruler, and rotary cutter set to my wishlist!  It is not expensive and a better deal to buy as a set instead of piece by piece.  Mom has each of these pieces and I have seen how they make cutting quilt pieces so easy and perfect!  I want one!!  And I suspect I will be buying fabric...  Another thing for me to hoard and collect :)

NaBloPoMo 2016 Day 20


Today I did some sewing!!  Mom cut some fabric for me when I was home this past summer so that I could quilt a table runner for the new communion table at church.  Today I finally got around to starting on it!  I got the pieces all sewn together and got the three layers all pinned down. Tomorrow when I have better light I will do the quilting part and will get the binding on too.  We can take it to church on Wednesday night!
