Typical Monday

Since I had my batteries recharged from the weekend I was rearing to go yesterday. First up, Dianes quilt on Bernie. Here's some of the quilting that went into it...

Swirl hook
I had to call Gall Sewing about my issues with DW. I was advised to not use him anymore until they could take a look. Not only is he slightly out of time, but he's varying his speed even in manual mode, his on-board screen goes blank every once in a while, and he made a slightly electric smell on Friday. He's going down Saturday to have them take a look.

Since I can no longer use DW until further notice, we had to move the Make Do and Mend quilt over to Bernie now that I was done with all of Dianes tops...for now.

DW is grounded for now
Jim was skinning and frame ironing for the quilt I'll be working on next. Here's what's up for today on Marty...

Another tulip top!
The top above is completely custom and is going to a local show. I'll probably be working this through most of the rest of the week. I have an idea about some of it but still need to work through the sashing portions. 

After fighting to get the Make Do and Mend quilt transferred over (we never really did get it loaded straight), I had planned on getting row three complete. It's nearly there, but now that I'm on a smaller throat space, I have to change out thread colors twice as many times. It had been a long day and it was approaching 8:00 when I started closing up shop.

First Time in Seven Summers

Yesterday turned out to be a half day of work for me. Jim got home around lunch time towing this behind the truck. Once we got through lunch...
