My blooming computer has decided to practice PMS! Pleasing My Self is for creative people, not blooming computers. I don't want it to do things without my choosing. These days I'm not even turning it on daily as it annoys me so much. "Auto Pilot", Copilot is not needed here!
Anyway, enough grumbling and a few pictures.
It's been very busy in my classroom and quite productive in between all my fun trips.
This is another on Pam's rather long list of baby quilts. She was very happy to make this one using pink-ier fabrics. So many people want neutral baby quilts these days. Neutral as in, neither boyish nor girly. This baby came early and she said "I'm a girly quilt please Pam!"
Julie had taken a brief break from classes. She hasn't stopped sewing at home though and on day one of her return to us, she surprised us all by needing to make a huge sandwich! Isn't it fabulous. Made with a Batik fabric Jelly Roll
Cheryl Cheryl has also been missing her classes. Sometimes life makes us stop what we really want to do doesn't it. Work, life and a huge family wedding did that job very well. She's back with us now and this beautiful Batik Jelly Roll quilt needed sandwiching!
Mary designed this quilt using her computer and a spread sheet! It's her first large quilt sandwich. As is quite usual, Mary hadn't quite realized how big the quilt was, even though she knew, ha! There will be quite a few hours of stitching to keep Mary busy for the next few weeks.
Jackie is very pleased with her Log Cabin project. This is the centre, complete and looking fabulous, just as Jackie had planned. I couldn't quite get it all in my picture, but you know I will, one day! There will be a Piano Key border added to each side next.
Farmer Lynda is making this lovely Llama baby quilt for gifting. She knew what colour baby it was going to be given to before she started, can you guess? It's a design Lynda has made before, the pattern is an Elizabeth Hartman, of course. The little heart applique was a little bit of PMS!
Princess Jackie is working on a few different quilty projects, all at the very same time. This pattern caught her eye as a perfect gifting quilt for a cat lover. The pattern's called Cat Scratch, a purrrrfect name for it, don't you think. Jackie has a plan to make this quilt double sided. More cats!
While enjoying home sewing, Julie has been learning lots. YouTube is such a helpful tool! The video tutorial for this Lone Star was done by the Missouri Star Company, Julie says it was a very good job there's no limit on how many times it can be paused and rewound to watch again, ha ha ha, I think we all do that!
Joanne made a splendid skirt! Not having sewn any garment since she was at school. (We won't be mentioning how long ago that was, a few years should cover it!) She is super chuffed that it worked, and rightly so. Beautiful Art Gallery Rayon fabric makes for a lovely, light and floaty feel. Toot toot toot Joanne, it's finished and it's fabulous!
This is a scary picture! It's what I've been wasting my time doing just lately. Inspired by some of the ladies on my last retreat and by Beano, who's also dabbling in dressmaking. I'm sure it is easy... If only my body wasn't quite so bumpy, ha ha ha
