Ready to Quilt

This is the quilt-to-be with six blocks completed. It's now tacked with the batting and backing, ready for the quilting. I haven't slacked as you can see, just swamped working on this. My swollen finger certainly is not enjoying being poked by the needle...

I Finished Two Blocks

Time just flew by for me in the last few weeks. My tatting is still at where I stopped since I blogged about it; my new carbochon beading got started; a few new ATCs were made and sent to my swap partners and I started a quilting class yesterday.

These are the two blocks I completed this afternoon using my late MIL's sewing machine. I hope I can do something good with the machine. I haven't used a sewing machine in 30 years so this beginner's project was a little challenging. One day, I'll have tatting incorporated with my quilts.
