The top is DONE!! Yeah!!

I told you I'd post more pictures so here you are.



I finished the top a few days ago and I'm on to another project already.  I plan on putting something in those corner blocks, maybe the bride and groom's names and the wedding date.  I need to check with the couple before I do that.  But, it's packed up now for the move and I'll do the quilting this winter between teaching classes and doing my usual things.  Every little stitch on that elephant and the borders around it were done on my sweet little Skanie.  That's the name of the FW here at the cabin.  She's a trooper and sews like there's no tomorrow.

I've started a t-shirt quilt for my dear youngest son so the sweet little FW here at the cabin is not feeling lonely.  She'll be sewing until I oil her, grease her gears and replace her motor lube for the long winter ahead.  She'll get cold but be ready for another summer of hot and heavy sewing when I come back next spring.  I'll tell you the other things I do to make sure she's safe for sewing after sitting 6 months.  That story will be coming in a few weeks.



You know how I tell you to use leaders and enders when you're sewing so you have less of a chance to get those thread tangles under your stitching?  Well, this is what I'm talking about when I tell you about doing that.  I have a little pile of 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" squares that I was given in a stuffed gallon bag.  I'm making some little 16 x 16 blocks that measure finished 8" x 8".  They will be made into a donation quilt of some sort.  But, the beauty of it is that I don't get tangles by staying aware of them and actually using them.  You can't imagine how quickly I get that pile of twozies ready to sew together and make the bigger blocks.  Easy---Peezy!



Fall is upon us here in the UP.  It won't be long now and I'll be busy planning the FW Club days and gathering up things for classes.  Keep watching.  I'll have more hints and stories again soon.
