Xena gets wider, Charity day at SHQ

This is what happened all day Wednesday (11/29):






-all of the stuff that was stored under XENA got moved to the pool table...and Lucy sat there through the entire installation...just keeping an eye on things!



-carefully removing my sew head






-and carefully putting the sewhead back on:



-testing it out



I now have a 12 foot frame for my longarm machine and can complete quilts with one measurement of 115’’, and the other measurement, whatever the customer wants :~).


While that was happening, I did manage to get a card stitched out:

My weaving group decided to exchange ornaments or cards at our Christmas party….so I decided to make a card. Also, another longarm customer wanted a label, so I got that done as well:


I don’t know why I was so tired in the evening, but I was….so I only did a little bit of knitting.


***************************************


Thursday (11/30) was charity day at quilting. I was determined to take something for breakfast, so I took my newly revised recipe for the cranberry pecan coffee cake….and it was a HUGE hit!:


After that we broke into groups with some people ironing, and some people stitching down labels and some people tying knots on the quilts:


-I caught Denise just as she took a forkful of coffee cake






And some of us making sure we had a fun time:


It was a very productive day, with some lovely show and tell as well:






I took a long nap when I got home, then made meatloaf for dinner:

It was heavenly…Susie mentioned that she makes meatloaf about once a month...and I was immediately jealous!!!


We snuggled on the couch afterwards and watched TV.

Your embroidered Christmas card is fabulous! I love all of the colors and the way they flow into each other. Beautiful show and tell! The quilts with the Christmas wreaths are especially nice.
