I've been kitting up some projects ----I am SO tired of the bow-ties they may sit for a while so I can play with something else.
The blue Wizard I picked up this afternoon has been cleaned and oiled and is ready for a test run!
I've got a few "Moth in the Window" blocks to sew up ----and that's tonight's project!
Are you ready to sew? Bring a project, come hang out!

Hi Bonnie, just a quick note to say thanks for providing ambition to get things done. I was going to read but I think I will go and sew up some more rows on a quilt I am putting together for my niece's wedding.
Hi Bonnie, have a quilt going on the frame and being quilted by a digital pattern. Trying to pack for a week in the mountains. The sewing machine and assorted stuff is out in the camper. I guess I need to pack some clothes and toiletries LOL. Liz
Glad I caught you tonight Bonnie. Hello from Upstate NY. Quick question, love that small bright light next to your machine... been looking for one... do you know the brand or where you bought it?
She's cute and sounds really nice! I need to find one of those for myself. I guess I'm going to have to hit the Salvation Army & Goodwill Stores. I'll be looking for sewing machines, small irons and some 100% cotton shirts! And, I can thank you for my list!
Okay Bonnie... Follow me here ! You said she is the same color as the Volkswagen Bug. When you say Bug, I think Beetle, which makes me think Bailey, as in the comic strip from the same era as the Blue wizard, so her name will be Bailey to me! ;)
The woman who said she was your biggest fan a few minutes ago (when I first tuned in) is an imposter. We all know I'M your biggest fan! And I have your quilts to prove it ;)
Bonnie- I cant stay but for a minute but I wanted to say that I have loved watching you! Tonight I am resting because I have been tackling a very new to me project: Cathedral Windows! Ya'll have a good night!
Hey Bonnie, funny you ask how machine comes into places like the Salvation Army. A friend volunteers at a local Restore store (funds the Habitat for Humanity building and a gentleman brought in two machines for donation. His wife had passed a way and he wanted them be useful to someone else. My friend brought one home and it works well. It is a Kenmore about 20 years old. It will become her machine to go away as it is lighter than her favourite old Bernina.
Hi bonnie it's bonnie from va. I'm sewing the backing for my hidden spools quilt while i watch you tonight. Earlier tonight i was watching s connery in docter no (50th anniv). But when i saw you were going to have quilt cam. I had to give him up
Hi Bonnie Spending a quiet Saturday at home here in Australia. It's raining gently so PERFECT sewing weather! Love watching you & and sewing at the same time! I'm appliquing! Cheers Maree
How do you decide what widths to cut your strips in your scrap system? I'm chopping up some large pieces and get stuck trying to decide on strip widths. I have no project in mind, just organing scraps. Thanks!
Today I drove home from just north of Philadelphia... Took back roads, wandered through quilt shops, antique stores, etc. What a fun ride! Thought of you often, and seriously considered buying a toy sewing machine @ Sanford and Sons Antiques and Collectibles - quite a place, lol. Quite a ways north of where you'll be, though. It's just outside of Tunkhannock, where tomorrow is the annual Airing of the Quilts. Safe travels - be careful, the leaves in PA are so gorgeous they are almost a distraction.
Hi Bonnie, I work from home and am catching up on my work tonight--your on my left monitor, and work is on my right. Most fun I've had to work in a long time. Nancy in SC (know you from QSC)
I do wish I could go to Ireland with you. Since June is my birthday month. But alas I don't have the funds to go. But I know you all will have a great time.
Hi, Bonnie -- I'm going to try and open up Quiltcam in one window and mapping software in another. I've got a list of Church and school rummage sales I want to try and hit tomorrow in the hope of finding shirts. Goodwill, Salvation Army and the like tend to charge $3 - 6 a shirt and I can't convince myself that's a good deal.
I do have a question. I'm teaching a young girl to quilt. She did great on the piecing, but doesn't really want to do finish the quilting (nothing fancy and I really like what she's done so far). I want her to be able to say she made the quilt, but she wants me to finish it. It's to be a gift for her cousin's first birthday. Should I go ahead and let her talk me into finishing it?
Hi Bonnie hope your going to be doing your live cam at the end of the month. I would like to take you with us when I go to quilt retreat, on the shores of Lake Superior and at the foot of the Porcupine Mountains.
Fun to listen to your machine while you sew. I got my Tension fixed on my featherweight. I took it apart and couldn't get it back in right. My friend helped show me what I did wrong and got it back in place. She showed me how to oil and lube it best. So happy I found one finally. I sewed two of my Sylvia's Bridal Sampler Blocks. Lovely stitches.
Wow Bonny, it is so funny, I was just thinking about the expensive machines, I still have my simple one, basic stiches, not even the blanket stitch, that I love a lot!! I am thinking to follow your passion for sewing machines, and start my collection :)
Picked up a little light in Ikea when I was in Calgary last week. I absolutely love it and should have bought two. Life of the led bulb is apparently 20.000 hours. Will outlive me I think Thanks for your suggestion. Going to try to get to Portland in the Spring to see you. It's the closest you've come to Canada which is where I live. Marilyn McKinnon. In beautiful BC
Hi Bonnie: DH is grilling pork chops and then we'll eat (having teriyaki pork chops, fresh green beans, the last from the garden and grilled, sliced eggplant. All with brown rice.) Then I'll start working on a binding I have to sew down.
I decided to dig out the pattern for Moth in the Window and whip one up with you...I finished my first and already facebooked it! Thanks for letting this AZ girl sew with the fall colors of Wisconsin (where I am from!).
Hi Bonnie! My 2 year old grandson and I are enjoying watching you! Thomas LOVES looking at you "kilt books"!!! He has been playing with scraps of fabric since he was just months old!!
Hi Bonnie..Just got back from a driving trip from TX..saw a quilt at a Bob Evans Restaurant in Hagerstown MD?? or Bridgeport WV??. Picture on my blog here:
Sent last message before I had finished! What about "Bluebell" as a machine name? She sews beautifully! Maree in Australia! Where it's raining (perfect for sewing) and I'm appliquing!
Hi Bonnie. I took a class with Julie Herman today of Jaybird Quilts. We were all talking about you and your blog and quilt cam. We were also saying how much we would love to go to Ireland with you.
The Friday after Thanksgiving is PERFECT for me as I never, ever shop the weekend after Thanksgiving. Traditionally, I stay home and sew/quilt that weekend. PUUUUUURRRRRRRFECT for me!
I'm so excited that you are starting the mystery the day after Thanksgiving. The perfet excuse to not go Black Friday Shopping. Having the mystery to work on was just the perfect thing to help me get through the holiday season. Sue Upstate Ny
You could also name her Bonnie Blue. I think that was Rhett and Scarlett's daughter's name. And it would include your name. You don't have to always show something new. It is just more fun to sew with someone. Dian
Bonnie, I am starting to get excited about another great quiltville mystery. Just took the last stitches in the binding of Orca Bay binding last week. Perfect timing! I hoe this year to get it done sooner, but have yet to miss a mystery. Thanks for all you do for us quilters.
I will be ready to sew the day after Thanksgiving if you are!! I love your penchant for vintage sewing machines. I would be too intimidated to shop for those. I was in Des Moines, IA today at the AQS show. Had a great time.
Loved quiltcam tonight. Have to work tomorrow. Just wanted to let you know it snowed here in South Dakota today. Glad you are still having Indian Summer there.
If I don't know what I"m going to make with them -- I just want some of each. For instance, don't cut the whole thing into a whole lot of 2.5" strips, do a few of each size to build up variety in each size.
No, it was published in Quiltmaker Magazine a few months back. I don't have a quilt done with it to make it a downloadable pattern yet. I have...ummm...TWO blocks made so far ;c)
I too am excited that you'll be starting the mystery quilt the day after Thanksgiving. I NEVER go out that day. This will be my very first mystery quilt so I'm anxious to do it!
Bonnie, I have a question....how come that clear sewing table fits around whatever machine you are using? You switch out so many machines, and they all fit. Is this something that you had custom-made? Thanks, Grace
thanks for replying, bonnie! i've tried that numerous times, but still can't get in. ??? guess i'm just not supposed to see you tonight. i won't be home tomorrow afternoon, so i'll miss you then, too. :-(
Thank you Bonnie, I will have to look thru my magazine stash and see if I have it. If not I will just have to order it then. Thank you again, I loved watching you tonight.
Bonnie, have so enjoyed your quilt cam every time it's on! My DH couldn't see how I preferred it to the debate Wed, but know you and the 1800 other quilters understand it perfectly! I also love the old machines~~today I was sewing strips on my old green machine, it's 15- that DH bought for me in 1959 because I wanted to learn to sew~~best purchase we ever made, perfect to learn to sew on and will still perform like a champ. I use it mostly when I sew denims, etc because it does heavier so well, but using it for strips on thin muslin today just for fun. Do you get on Quilter's Club of America at all? Probably don't have time for it - I really enjoy it, and we are doing one of your patterns as a project for our Scrap Happy Group (have to admit, my idea!) They seem to be enjoying it, we have made several Diamond in a Squares, and some other arrangements - I did String X and the other small one. I talk too much, only when it's about quilting, tho!! Luv ya! Carol in Arkansas
I had a former student pick up two of those Ikea lamps for me last weekend! Got one for home and one for my church Quilting Center. I love it, and they're so reasonably priced!
Just finished my AAQI quilt and blogged about it... http://tsquaredlife.blogspot.com/2012/10/aaqi-part-ii.html now I need to do finish the cleaning so the house is in order...since quilt cam I am definitely finishing more projects. Thanks for your leadership!!! Love you.

Yippppeee! Been awhile since I caught you and since I sewed...double Yipppeee!

Just wanted to say hi and wish you a safe to Pennsylvania. Love the new machine.
The woman who said she was your biggest fan a few minutes ago (when I first tuned in) is an imposter. We all know I'M your biggest fan! And I have your quilts to prove it ;)
Was warming up for quiltcam with some cutting exercises, 2 in squares when DH said "lets go out snd eat"
Hi from Erie! Sitting on the LA Nie hand sewing binding tonight! So glad to be having quilt cam time tonight!
Spent a couple of hours sewing on my fw-Liz. She was born in 1938 & has a few scratches, but sews pretty well.
What is the quilt behind you on the frame? LOVE IT!
Bonnie- I cant stay but for a minute but I wanted to say that I have loved watching you!
Tonight I am resting because I have been tackling a very new to me project: Cathedral Windows!
Ya'll have a good night!

Thanks! My QM magazine was laying right beside me and I opened it right to your quilt. Think it must be an omen that I'm meant to make it :)

Hi Bonnie,
I work from home and am catching up on my work tonight--your on my left monitor, and work is on my right. Most fun I've had to work in a long time.
Nancy in SC (know you from QSC)
Do we have any hints about this years mystery quilt project?
I do wish I could go to Ireland with you. Since June is my birthday month. But alas I don't have the funds to go. But I know you all will have a great time.

Bonnie, could you go over how to correct the tension? Especially how to correct the lower tension. thanks.
Hi Bonnie hope your going to be doing your live cam at the end of the month. I would like to take you with us when I go to quilt retreat, on the shores of Lake Superior and at the foot of the Porcupine Mountains.

Bonnie, you were talking about a machine that needed new wiring. I have such a machine. Where would I take it. Our local shop does not do rewiring.
kitting up some bow ties for my quilt retreat next weekend. I really enjoy spending quilt cam time with you!
Picked up a little light in Ikea when I was in Calgary last week. I absolutely love it and should have bought two. Life of the led bulb is apparently 20.000 hours.

Iwouldn 't say faster, working on Re Riding Hood costume
it is sweater time here in MI. really not wanting to turn on the furnace just yet. working on weedwhacker glad to have company while sewing tonight.
What brand of iron are you using? I know I heard you say you pick them up at thrift stores.
I decided to dig out the pattern for Moth in the Window and whip one up with you...I finished my first and already facebooked it! Thanks for letting this AZ girl sew with the fall colors of Wisconsin (where I am from!).
Hi Bonnie I am joining you on Quiltcam from New Zealand it is 3pm Saturday afternoon here...:O)
Hi Bonnie! My 2 year old grandson and I are enjoying watching you! Thomas LOVES looking at you "kilt books"!!! He has been playing with scraps of fabric since he was just months old!!

http://onemorequilt.blogspot.com/2012/10/back-homecatchup-time.html
Thought of you.
Also, a quick thought on names..I immediately thought of Blue Bug (VW..you mentioned the popular color)..or Cool Blue...
So glad to be home...2 weeks in a car..but grandkids are worth it!
Sent last message before I had finished!
What about "Bluebell" as a machine name? She sews beautifully!
Maree in Australia!
Where it's raining (perfect for sewing) and I'm appliquing!
Hi Bonnie. I took a class with Julie Herman today of Jaybird Quilts. We were all talking about you and your blog and quilt cam. We were also saying how much we would love to go to Ireland with you.
Hi, Bonnie,
Can you per chance tell us what the model number is on that Ikea lamp you said was great? Thanks. Gail
The Friday after Thanksgiving is PERFECT for me as I never, ever shop the weekend after Thanksgiving. Traditionally, I stay home and sew/quilt that weekend. PUUUUUURRRRRRRFECT for me!
Marylou in Texas
Short on cutting a piece? PIECE the scraps together!
Tonight my husband bought an IPad so to test it out I jumped on your blog an quilt cam. Pretty cool! How about the name Robin for your new machine?
I'm so excited that you are starting the mystery the day after Thanksgiving. The perfet excuse to not go Black Friday Shopping. Having the mystery to work on was just the perfect thing to help me get through the holiday season.

You could also name her Bonnie Blue. I think that was Rhett and Scarlett's daughter's name. And it would include your name. You don't have to always show something new. It is just more fun to sew with someone. Dian
So I will be the third....perfect!!!!
perfect! after turkey mystery!
Hi Bonnie! What's the story on the Bali 2012 wallhanging behind your machine?
Bonnie,
I am starting to get excited about another great quiltville mystery. Just took the last stitches in the binding of Orca Bay binding last week. Perfect timing! I hoe this year to get it done sooner, but have yet to miss a mystery. Thanks for all you do for us quilters.
I will be ready to sew the day after Thanksgiving if you are!! I love your penchant for vintage sewing machines. I would be too intimidated to shop for those. I was in Des Moines, IA today at the AQS show. Had a great time.
Hi Bonnie I am thrilled to learn that the mystery will start the day after Thanksgiving! I think a great name would be Stella like stellar Blue.
Bonnie, I found out the Ikea lamp is not available on their website, only in their store.
Gotta get tat lamp, thanks for the tips tonight,love everything about quilt cam except for when I lose you cuz of com-breaks B-( Barbie
LOL! Thanks Bnnie, we were still watching and Thomas is still waving at you saying "hi Bonnie...hi!!!" Thanks again!
Loved quiltcam tonight. Have to work tomorrow. Just wanted to let you know it snowed here in South Dakota today. Glad you are still having Indian Summer there.
So sorry, Bonnie, I cannot find that "search" bar above the BlogHer. I must have misunderstood. Thanks. Gail
What was tbe little razor tool you got from Walmart and used to rip seams?
Loved the "quilt cam"! First time watching.
Gale - I got mine from Amazon. Check there too.
Grace
Weekend after Thanksgiving will be perfect for me to start another project. I'm hoping to be caught up on everything by then.. lol..
Its an eyebrow razor type thing..
if there is ever a problem with viewing -- reboot your computer! I've had to do that when the camera wouldn't register on my end.
It's a task light from Ikea! Love them!
Hahahahaha!!
I just love that these machines have had a life somewhere else, and we are continuing to give them a purpose!
Gale - Sorry - I got the Ikea lamp at Amazon. My first comment didn't make sense when I just went back to read it!!
If I don't know what I"m going to make with them -- I just want some of each. For instance, don't cut the whole thing into a whole lot of 2.5" strips, do a few of each size to build up variety in each size.
Thanks, Robin! I'm looking forward to a beautiful Autumn drive!
No, it was published in Quiltmaker Magazine a few months back. I don't have a quilt done with it to make it a downloadable pattern yet. I have...ummm...TWO blocks made so far ;c)
I will be posting yardage requirements toward the end of October, and we will start the mystery the Day after Thanksgiving, November 23rd!
I think she should be there with you, and you two can do it TOGETHER and she will learn the process, even if you are doing much of the sewing :)
I too am excited that you'll be starting the mystery quilt the day after Thanksgiving. I NEVER go out that day. This will be my very first mystery quilt so I'm anxious to do it!
Check this Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWajfDxQQwo
It's a GE 3/4 sized iron from the late 70's early 80s.
Hey, Maree from another Maree ☺
YEAH! You are probably going a lot faster than I am!
That's the piece I batiked in Bali myself -- I don't know what to do with it yet!
It's your browser. Try a different browser.
It's called an "eyebrow shaper" and is found in the cosmetics dept at walmart -- where the eyelash curler thingies and other grooming stuff are!
Bonnie, I have a question....how come that clear sewing table fits around whatever machine you are using? You switch out so many machines, and they all fit. Is this something that you had custom-made?
Thanks, Grace
thanks for replying, bonnie! i've tried that numerous times, but still can't get in. ??? guess i'm just not supposed to see you tonight. i won't be home tomorrow afternoon, so i'll miss you then, too. :-(
have a great trip to pennsylvania! :-)
it's "eat for free" weekend at ikea ☺ spent $100 and the amount you paid in the restaurant will be deducted from the amount you owe at checkout.
GMP, I tried to email you back but you don't have your email address visible in your settings so all I get is "noreply@blogger.com" :((
Check http://sewingmates.com It's the sew-adjustable table....I can make it fit most of my machines because it is adjustable.
Thank you Bonnie, I will have to look thru my magazine stash and see if I have it. If not I will just have to order it then. Thank you again, I loved watching you tonight.
Thanks for the advice. After we hit the rummage sales tomorrow we'll do it.
Thanks so much. I'll look for them. Tonight is the first time I caught your webcam and I enjoyef "meeting" you so much. :-)

Thanks for the info., Bonnie. I'll check out the website.
