The sewing room have been a hive of activity as I'm trying to get as much done as I possibly can. I have shoulder surgery scheduled next week and my arm will be unusable for many weeks.
One of the girls at work did this for me for Tayla. I took it to Hobby Lobby and had it framed, love the lime green matte board. Now it's ready to hang on her wall in her room. I think she's wasting her talent working as a dispatcher. She does some amazing artwork that she refers to as doodles. I wish I could doodle like this.
I placed an order last week for a few items from
Connecting Threads. I'd heard a lot of talk about their threads and decided to buy some cones of
Essential Pro. So far I'm loving it and I especially love the price. While I was letting my fingers do the shopping for me, I came across this book that I've been eying off for some time now. I especially love the little quilt on the right of the cover.
Sneak Peeks of a gift that was mailed yesterday, not too much to show until it arrives at it's new home.
Another gift that's on it's way, it's been sitting and maturing here for quite some time now.
This precious bundle spent the afternoon/evening with me yesterday and will back again today for another visit while Mummy works.
These are now all stitched up into a new quilt for Tayla and it's now ready to quilt, along with a matching pillow. Today's plain is to make a start on the quilting.
It's taken almost a year to get these finished and into a quilt top. I decided it was far too big to put under a machine, even the new one, so it got sent off to the quilter last week. I changed the layout a little which meant I could have a generous king sized quilt.
Happy Stitching.
Linda

Love the little quilt on the cover..It looks like a "Don't look now" quilt...
Sorry about your upcoming surgery. You can spend your recovery time planning new projects. :o) Looks like some friends are going to be receiving some very sweet gifts.
So much loveliness to see on your blog, Linda! Good luck on your surgery!
Hope the Janome 6600 gets to you soon and that you will be recovered by then.

Great seeing a post from you. You have been a busy girl. Oh my, Tayla is growing like a weed! She is gorgeous. Take care of that shoulder Linda. I will be praying for a speedy recovery for you. Hugs, Karen
Gosh Linda there's certainly no grass growing under your machine! I love that "doodle", how pretty - good for you on getting the WhipUp book, been eyeing that myself! Tayla is getting so big, what a little doll she is. She's going to LOVE her quilt, it's so bright and cheery and girly! I love the pinwheels, that is going to be just gorgeous.
I hope and pray that your surgery goes well, so many people I know are getting this done lately! I hope you can do a quick, short post to let us know how you are. I'll be praying!
Linda, I'm praying for speedy recovery for you and that your surgery goes well. Looks like you've been a busy lady.
I love the looks of the new quilts. Very nice. I hope you can find something creative to do while on the mend. That would be hard. Glad the new sewing machine is fun to run.
Best of luck with the surgery, hopefuuly you will have a quick recovery.
