Quilting Now?

I'll be at that show too. I'm not sure which day, but I am white-gloving on
Sunday!

Ah. just right.

It's time for county fairs; anyone entering? And probably time to get

Good question! I am thinking about finishing/machine quilting two
laps that need to be done in 3 weeks - just keep avoiding them. I've
got a tiny paper-pieced "September" wall hanging to border and quilt,
and I embroidered a little on a tiny Halloween wall hanging last night
that is nearly ready for borders. I plan to go to the fair tomorrow
to look at the quilts and have reservations to go to Penn. for a quilt
show next month.

Hi Polly,

Great question! You really got everyone interested!

I'm just finishing a Christmas tree skirt for a friend of mine. She has a
long-arm and stitched the eight panels. It was my job to assemble it, and
make it reversible. Today I sewed three sets of ties to the opening edge,
and just have about 2 feet more of binding to do! In return, she stitched
the same pattern for me, on white fabric with a little silver glitter on it.
I haven't seen it yet, but she said her sewing room is "glittering'" from
end to end! We'll be getting together for the PA Quilt Show in
mid-September, so I'll get to see it then. Here's a link:

Thanks, all, for your kind comments. Unfortunately, this skirt won't be
"dressing" my tree. It goes back to the friend who did the stitching.
She's giving it to her daughter for Christmas. In return for my
"assembling" the skirt, she stitched out one for me on white fabric. I will
then assemble that one for me! We work together on a lot of projects. She
can do all things "quilty", but can't (or maybe she doesn't want to) sew
anything else! I made her two pair of cotton PJ's in exchange for her
quilting one of my queen-size quilts! I think I got the better of that
deal! Another time I made her a laptop case while she waited.
