Thread Tales From A Scrappy Quilter

We went camping last week for Spring Break.   Awesome weather, cold nights with most of the days warming to 60's and 80's for the last 2 days.   Hubby was not off work so just the little boys and me by day.   I enjoyed not having days and nights filled with lots of running - we just stayed at the campground.  Most days found me setting up my sewing area by mid-morning and working on my projects until time to start dinner.   Breaks were enjoyed by the waters edge or a stroll through the property.  The boys not only had the regular camping activities but the rec center had activities scheduled all day and night with bingo and different card or dice games, scavenger hunts, volleyball competitions, even a dance.   We were set up on the little woodsy section that opens up just beyond that bridge to the large lake.   Tulip Fields progress last week   My picnic table set up. ...

I'm involved with a new group being formed.  Our first informational meeting was last week.   We are calling ourselves the MQBees (machine quilting) and will be meeting once a month to get inspiration, design help, show and tell.  I mentioned how much I enjoyed sewing and quilting with my Juki/Grace frame combo and that I did still have my Juki which I would consider selling.  Someone is interested. I pulled her out of storage under a table in my studio.  Cleaned, oiled and threaded her up.   I'll be sad to let her go but money is always nice and space in my studio is even more precious so if someone wants her I have to sell.  She deserves to have a good home and lots of use.   1500 stitches per minute, extended base, knee lift, thread cutter.  Wow what a machine!
