I have started a bow tie quilt with cheddar fabric (another monkey-see, monkey-do) but it is a long way from being done. <br /><br />I spent the day with some quilting buddies and this evening have been putting my fabric stash onto the new shelves in the sewing room closet. I can already see that more shelves will be necessary. There is room for three more. Keeping my fingers crossed that will be enough. Putting my feet up now with some hexies.Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04066177625064170284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-23945365965721014712012-10-28T19:37:07.282-04:002012-10-28T19:37:07.282-04:00Beautiful Bonnie!!Beautiful Bonnie!!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12460244411628464458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-22655174683535578162012-10-28T18:57:56.164-04:002012-10-28T18:57:56.164-04:00Its looking good Bonnie.

I love seeing the wide variety of fabrics you use. Close-up photography is something I also appreciate about your books. I like being able to see your quilting designs and the many different prints you use as neutrals.<br /><br />This weekend I'm having a stay-at-home quilting retreat. So far I've finished the binding on a donation quilt and now I'm trying to finish the quilting on a baby quilt that I began over 10 years ago. The recipient has outgrown it, but I'm planning to give it to her baby sister.<br /><br />--C.B.Catholic Bibliophagisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10697706672495544901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-13105940748842557652012-10-28T15:20:59.258-04:002012-10-28T15:20:59.258-04:00So glad that you go the ugly pleat taken care of b...So glad that you go the ugly pleat taken care of because the quilt is looking really good.

I made goose clothing with mine.<br /><br />Let's see, what have I been up to. Went to church this morning where I had to play hand chimes (they are similar to hand bells)Then mad a lunch of hamburgers on the grill, helped my daughter catalog her rummage sale find of 3rd grade books for her classroom. I found 3 grocery bags full of 100% cotton mens shirts for $12.00 YEAH!

You're such a busy woman but yet you took time last night to respond to my comment by email. Thank you. I was able to find some information through the references on your web site about my newly inherited Universal portable sewing machine. I believe it was made in 1938. The start of my vintage machine collection! In keeping up with the hour a day of needle and thread, I've been hand quilting the quilt top I inherited from my mother. It was one of her UFO's made in the 60's. <br />I love the bowtie quilt and am looking forward to the mystery quilt next month.<br />Thanks again!
