Here is my A4 block for Dear Jane:
The rest of this week is crazy busy, so I probably won't get to post again until NEXT Wednesday. I caught a cold last Saturday and that has really slowed things down. Now things are piled up and I don't have time to slow down anymore! I have to get ready for our Quarterly Meeting tomorrow and then I leave to cook for the High School Retreat!
I have a plan, and will be talking to my friend today. You see, I have a longarm quilting machine.... my baby has been in its crate for four years (since we moved to San Antonio) because we have NO room to set it up. I am hoping to rent some space from a friend to set it up and I am hoping to be able to rent time out on it to other quilters. Has anyone done this before? I seriously can't pay to have a place to set it up if I have no $$ coming in from it! Eventually I hope that I will slow down enough to be able to take in quilts myself to quilt, but I have alot of practicing to do before that will happen and very little time to practice! :-( I had a whole loft to myself in Delaware, just for my machine and quilting stuffs...but I honestly never got very good with the machine. I often left the loft in tears because I couldn't do what I wanted to do with it! We'll see how things go this time!
Lovely flowers and a beautiful block for your dear jane.
ReplyDeletepfew...you have been busy - great!
ReplyDeleteI have been in two shops that rent time on their longarm machine. The price was $10.00 and hour. One was in CT and one was in NC. I don't know what it would be in your area.
ReplyDeleteWhat FIVE flowers and a Dear Jane block too. Amazing considering all the other things you mentioned that were happening in your life.
I also noticed your Raggedy Ann Block. Aren't they fun? I too was hesitant about the black but found a dark gray on gray to use and it is working for me.
You have made nice flowers and so many this week. It is such an easy project to bring along.
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely flowers and the Dear Jane block is a beauty! Hope you are feeling better.
