Yesterday I took a free motion quilting class. I found it’s a lot harder than it looks, but I think with some practice it will get better. Here is where I put some stencils on and tried to go around them. I think some of them remind me of Tim Burton type fingers. The [...] I created my second block for the quilts. These gorgeous flying geese blocks. #gallery-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-2 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-2 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-2 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } The quilts are coming along. #gallery-3 { margin: auto; } #gallery-3 [...] Last week was insane at Chez Purl. First off I learned I can’t do acrobatics in the pool at the gym any more. It’s a long story and one that reminds me my birthday is next week and no I won’t be turning 21 again.

[...] So Julie and I took 5 classes at the WI Sheep and Wool this year. Yes we are crazy and that is why we are now busy recuperating. One of the classes was a Russian continental knitting class. Technically this is an Eastern combined knitting technique. I learned to knit English. I have always [...] The contest is now closed. Thank you to all who entered. When I was contacted by Stephanie – Biffy Beans – about reviewing a webbie and doing a giveaway, I jumped at the chance. As a lover of notebooks and fountain pens, I have a special fondness for Rhodia products and this one did [...] I did something new this week. I signed myself up for digital photography courses this fall at the local community college. The community program not the regular student program. Now I will keep my fingers crossed they will go. They have to have at least 5 enrolled for the classes to go. I have not [...] Remember my lovely sewing machine from Monday’s post? My dear friend that I have cared for – oh for around 15 years. Not a scratch on her – just needed a tune up and good cleaning. Well it was apparently packed well. But it showed up cracked down there. It’s been tagged and [...] |
