Back as 'barnyowl'!
I finally gave up on the quick route (for me) to access rctq and am back as
'barnyowl' formerly jennellh or Jennifer in Ottawa. I apologize for the error that I made when I posted news of Polly's latest baby quilt .... working blind on message posting didn't allow for editing so thank you, Taria! Polly already knows this piece of news: I gave in to temptation during the May long weekend and bought a new sewing machine - over the phone! The deal on a new Husqvarna Diamond Deluxe with multiple freebies (read toys) was just too much and the idea of a new bathroom flew out the window. I do still have my Pfaff 2144 which is set up in the sewing room (too hot for comfort to use that room during the summer months) and I also have my brother 1500. I have been happily relearning the software for embroideries, etc. and have used my baby bib blanks to try out new versions of several designs...I think that I am up to 24 now? I have also finished making a chemo-hug quilt for my US cousin who was diagnosed with lung cancer recently......I have it ready for shipping now. The Diamond has so many quilting stitches to choose from but I decided on one of serpentines using a diagonal set across the whole quilt.....to speed up the process of finishing. I am still behind in making baby quilts for the newer members of my family - one top is done (then dancing frogs - picture is on webshots) but I still have to work on 3 more for this year's baby crop. I was sidetracked with knitting during the winter months and tennis tournaments and only managed to sew 4 baby books and a selection of baby burp pads. I did also decide that all of my fabric stash should be photographed individually for inclusion in my fablib files ...but that was only the beginning of another start on reorganizing the sewing room......fat quarters still have to photographed and uploaded to fablib and then all of the files have to be sorted into folders. The cats are all fine and currently are addicted to 'carrot tops'! barnyowl |

I like your name. Congrats on the new machine! Mom always used to say
we spent too much time staring in the bathroom mirror anyway. Better to be sewing!

I'm enjoying the differences with the new machine and still have some quirks
to work on. I hope that your Gatineau weekend has better weather for flying this year - the area is very pretty to view either from land or sky. Jen "AuntK" wrote in message ...

Kim in NJ- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - It truly is a beautiful area. Not sure if it was a no-no or not but flying over the city of Ottawa was fabulous. And the rivers are magnificent. The local family there that helps us are so loving and generous to us and we are so grateful to them. And we LOVE Cora's for breakfast. Doesn't get much better than that! |

Good to see you back, Jennifer. I like the new 'handle' and super congratulations on the new machine! Can't wait to see some photos of your creations with your new sewing partner.

No wonder the bathroom plans went out the window! Enjoy, Hugs Bronnie |
