Today I quilted Layla's Birthday Quilt and put the binding on it. I think I will also make her a pillow case to match. It sure has some bright colors in it! I hope she will like it. we will give it to her at her party on Sunday.
A House is not A Home Without Sewing Machines

I quilted Martha's wall hanging she did at camp. I told her I wasn't good at small stippling and you can see in the picture. She sure is a friend to trust me to learn on her masterpiece. This was the Simple appliqué method that Sue Huseman taught at Camp Caleb last year. Mine is just so simple it is still in the bag. I did finish the one that Gypsy taught. I am going to stipple it next. I will post pictures later. I have Martha's on the frame now. I liked it better than the simple appliqué. I have been working on Layla's (granddaughter) quilt this morning. I got the blocks sewn together. Now got to put the borders on and quilt it.


One of the girls at Homemaker Annual Party the other night had a blue jean purse. Last night Lionel picked up the grandkids to stay all night with us and I ask him to tell Granddaughter Emily to bring an old pair of her jeans if she wanted to make a purse. She brought a pair of her brothers. This purse takes around an hour to make. You can change the ribbons as you like. She really likes it.


Yesterday, Lionel was off work and we cleaned the storage building out. I was so glad to get that done. Now we can start filling it again. I have already started putting some things from the bedroom in the basement in the building. I am hoping to get more organized. Hopefully get my sewing machines and things in one room. Today I finally got back to quilting. Quilted Martha's Jelly Roll quilt. My machine is working good. Don't remember one thread breakage today.
