Play or Work?

Before my camera went flat (and of course I forgot to bring the charger), I managed to download some more photos of what Nora and I have been up to. I was wondering whether we were working hard this week or just playing… a bit of both perhaps?
I did some playing on the Gammill – put a big piece of muslin on, and tried out some designs:
Some of the attachments that come with the machine are fantastic…. I also tried a bit of free motion madness and decided I needed to practice a lot more before I would be happy with it 🙂
We also had a play with the Acu-cut machine:
I am going to attempt a wedding ring quilt…. ha! We shall see how it goes! Of course I will keep you all posted. But with the die, it was quick to cut out all the pieces at least. Now if only there was a machine that did the rest for me….!
We got into Christmas in July mode and made some disappearing nine patches:
…. a table runner using a new method Nora taught me, so quick and easy:
And with the scraps did a strings sampler:
In the middle of all the mayhem, we found a cute Christmas pattern that needed a blue background with snowflakes…. so Nora decided to get the dye out and make some:
Play or work? More play than work I think 🙂 And sadly my week here has nearly come to an end…. we still have half a day to play some more and then I’ll be heading home again … back to work 🙂
Wow… lots done… very productive time there… work/play…. it's allgood….

Wow a busy week! Lots of samples started needing finishing! Do you get to keep any of the gadgets? Machine quilt machine & frame? Accuquilt die cutter? And the studio version and all!!!
Fun, fun, fun!!
Who would have thought that you would have all of that at your access in Arabia? Not me. Where there is a will there is a way!
So busy, your mind must be full of new quilts you can make with the die cutter, sometimes I think that cutting the blocks is one of the worse parts of making a quilt, especially if there are curves as in the Wedding Ring.
Looks like you guys had a blast!!!
you will have to tell me about that easy table runner soon.
