Quilting continues

Tuesday (2/6) was all about working on the current customer quilt. I started at 9 AM, and quit quilting at 7:30 PM. I think I can finish it up on Wednesday. She has so many different fabrics in this quilt….everything from Dr Seuss:

to Christmas:

to everything in between:

Michael came down while I was working and laid out my Thursday quilting blocks:

I am 2 short, so will have to work on those before I can start sewing it together.

I wanted to show you what I've been doing...thanks to a suggestion from BG on my One Block Wonder quilt. I've been working on this new bed quilt....and each time I iron, I've been sliding the seam underneath my tailor's clapper. I haven't been beating anything...I just lift up the clapper:

and place my still warm fabric seam on the pile, then set the clapper on top of the pile:

and let it stay there until I add the next chain pieced unit to the pile. Everything cools while under the clapper and I cannot believe how much flatter my seams are....it is just amazing!

My honey left for the movies just after 6 PM, and I headed upstairs after quiltting quilting and knit while watching THE BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES.

And lots of good info from 10 years ago...

More from June:

It was that time, during the Sunday morning service, for the children's sermon.

All the children were invited to come forward.

One little girl was wearing a particularly pretty dress and, as she sat

down, the minister leaned over and said, 'That is a very pretty dress.

Is it your Easter Dress?'The little girl replied, directly into the minister's clip-on

microphone, 'Yes, and my Mum says it's a bitch to iron.'

When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year

old came into the room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower.

She said, 'Mummy, you are getting fat!'

I replied, 'Yes, honey, remember Mummy has a baby growing in her

tummy.' 'I know,' she replied, but what's growing in your bum?'
