It is now sandwiched, basted and in the frame – ready to be quilted.

And here is another Because You Matter quilt. This little double Irish chain will go to a child through the RCMP Victim’s Services Unit here in Salmon Arm (via the Shuswap Quilt Guild.)  Fabric & batting donated by the Shuswap Quilt Guild. Labour donated by yours truly.

A block, a top and sewing on my new Janome 2030QDC!

I have so many topics to write about and so many blog posts rolling around in my head, and yet I seem unable to actually sit down and organize myself enough to put them onto paper (so to speak).

I finally bought the fabric and sewed the borders onto my triangle-square sampler quilt. This is the first finished top in 2014! It is already sandwiched and ready for the quilting frame. 🙂

005AND… Just what did I do all this sewing on, you might ask?

004Why, my brand new Janome 2030QDC! Whoot whoot!

016This is my retirement present to myself. 🙂 I LOVE it!

Sewing room pics coming soon. Retirement update coming soon. I promise!
