A Quilting Visit with Jill
.
Jill is one of the members of the Dead Plants Society group that I have attended several times in Sewanee TN. She is also a great quilter, with oodles of nine patches (hundreds, really) that she makes into bed quilts. She also has a Janome 6600 and we got together to play a bit with free motion quilting. Her fabulous new studio is currently half finished so we worked in her living room which is set up as the temporary studio.
I showed her a few of my not well guarded secrets and she was instantly fabulous. I am sure she didn't need my help, but it was fun to teach a little private lesson.
On my way home I stopped at a yard sale, in which only books were offered. $10 bought me 40 new mystery/thrillers. I may have to return as I got a couple of duplicates. Greedy little me!
But seriously, one day this week I must stay home and clean house and attend to the ever present laundry.
Beautiful quilts!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of books, have you ever considered a Kindle? I love mine and the best part is I don't have all the books piling up! You only have to go on the computer to set it up then you can get a book anytime..not like the Sony where you have to download from the computer. It uses cell-phone technology but you aren't charged and you have a new book in less than 30 seconds. It's also so easy to carry around and you don't have to hold it open! My best gift to myself, EVER!!!
