Quilt-Cam 11/17/14

It’s Quilt-Cam Time!

Yay!  I know it was short notice but we’ve got to get it in here when we can fit it in here…So here we are!

If you are catching this in the archives --- we welcome you too!  That’s what archives are for, right?

This photo is of Ria’s set up – she sent this photo showing her progress on HER Carolina Chain quilt….vintage Singer, and gorgeous quilts in the background.  The blue one has lovely hand quilting on it!

She writes:


Hi Bonnie,
Love to see you on Quiltcam again! I'm watching the archieved one from last evening (night for this grandma, who is babysitting today).
And look! I made my first Carolina Chain block and pictured it with my new phone, the Samsung Galaxy S5. Great!
This phone makes great pictures as well; love it!Love from the Netherlands, Ria.

As for MY Carolina Chain quilt…The quilting is finished and I just need to get the binding on!

    Hi Bonnie,

    So glad for Quilt Cam tonight
    I've just returned to Florida after being six months in New Brunswick, Canada.
    I chose to fire up my ADLER tonight and here you are on Quilt Cam, so I am sending you a picture.
    It's an ugly machine, but oh does it ever purr when you step on the pedal.



    I put a lot of oil on the machine when I left here in the spring and it is like I never left. What a beautiful machine.

    I am working on a miniature quilt for a silent auction. Greens, blues and sandy colour to go with the colours of the Florida life.

    Love you Bonnie,,, Can't wait for my class, Cathedral Stars, the end of February.

  19. We always make a wine gravy that is fabulous! Really simple, uses Mogan David Grape Concord wine..baste the turkey in it all day in the Nesco and then make gravy. Still on Weight Watchers--so we planned a hike for Thanksgiving morning--but I WILL be eating the gravy! :)

  20. My sister always hosts Thanksgiving, and my contribution is ALWAYS chicken-n-dumplings and a layer salad. I say make those creamed onions for your daddy! That's why I make chicken-n-dumplings for my dad, and layer salad for my mom! LOL

  30. Couldn't catch you live as I am not 'connected' in my basement yet. Was finishing the quilting of a disappearing nine-patch. Just got my frame/quilting machine back up and running after it was in storage for over a year while we waited for a house to move into. The quilting withdrawals are a thing of the past -- finally. Felt so good to take the completed quilt off the frame tonight. Now to locate the container that has all my bindings stored in them.

  33. Tues. Morn. I am trying to pull fabrics for the upcoming mystery quilt. I have been to 3 paint stores in my town (we don't have a Lowes) and none of their Valspar paint cards have any of the 4 that you listed. It was Valspar was'nt it? Can you help?Jackie Hubert

  34. Hi Bonnie, I just finished watching my first quilt cam! I did it Tuesday while I sewed on a bargello quilt for my Mom. It felt like I was sewing with a friend. Thanks for doing it, I will watch more on days I am sewing... I have been sewing like a mad woman so I can finish by the weekend and quilt it on my sisterinlaws long arm. I just loved into quilt ills on facebook last week too! I really enjoy everyone's posts!
