  1. Hi Joy ,wow you are going to have some fun now my friend,and how lovely you helped your sister’s friend out,oh that pattern will be lovely when finished,love that pattern of Rosalie’s.
    Let me know when you go to the well again for the craft day and i will see if i can get there too.

  2. So glad Emmie G is up and running again & you’ve certainly been busy. Do like the stitchery quilt. Of course you know my favourite colour is pink & some of those fabrics are gorgeous. Must give you a call. Have a great weekend & take care.

  3. That first quilt is beautiful!! I love the colors on it. Machine quilting isn’t something I’ve tried doing before. I’ve hand quilted one lap sized quilt, but that is all. Your Rosalie quilt is going to be very pretty!!

  4. I knew you were working on something–and what a pretty quilt–
    and I can’t wait to see that pink one done up–
    enjoy the moments, di

  5. Well done!! I have been doing a bit of sewing this morning. I have lots of things cut out, so it should all go together nicely right??? Read Di’s blog, so now I am scared on that one, but we shall see. I am trying to work on UFO’s and still keep up with everything else. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! No neat and tidy going on at this house!!

  6. Good of you to help by basting. I love that pretty wall quilt you are working on! With everything you have going on I am amazed at what you do get accomplished sewing wise. I decided today was a good day to make up some shamrocks! hahaha! I do have some big quilt blocks ready to sew together as a UFO project though. So by this evening will be a top.

  7. I have a Gammill like that and I haven’t used it much. Feel like I need some help getting going on it. Did you find any good place to get pointers from?

  8. I am a bit jealous about your Gammill (I know I shouldn’t!!!). so do you now have to repack it up? It’s good to know how to do that big stitching now and I’m sure next time will be heaps quicker. I love the little villages – I did it a few years ago and it is a favourite of mine.

  9. What a good friend you are to machine baste that quilt! It’s all in the name of quilty friendships, isn’t it?

  10. You sound Delighted to have Emmie G unpacked and stitching away! Interesting basting experience. There is a ‘basting stitch’ update on my Sw16 but apparently too costly to bother with unless I was doing it big time! The little Patchwork village looks like a sweet pattern – and it sounds like it is nearly finished, with all the stitcheries done already.

  11. It is funny how we don’t realise how much we miss something until we can do it again isn’t it? I am glad you are making progress on your UFOs! I am still looking for mine since they are packed up in the shed somewhere but at the moment the count stands at 23 (and I know there are waaaaay more than that hiding somewhere!) Enjoy your sewing.

  12. Oh I didn’t know you could baste on a long arm.. how good especially for your sister’s friend… what a huge quilt to hand do and have it finished by June…
    I’d do it on the Emmie…

  13. You have been busy! Much rather see evidence of suitcases though, but maybe that’s just me, I’m selfish like that! Big hugs my friend xx
