WIP Wednesday 11.13.19

I'm excited to finally move this entry to the "Ready to Longarm" section of the list!  I will pick a simple, one-fabric back for it.  As you can see, it's been in one of my to-go bags for two years. :)  I have worked on it on and off between other to-go bag projects.



This table topper pattern is from Kim Diehl.  It is called Short & Sweet.   I started it in August, 2017 as a sew-to-go bag project.  The pattern is in her book, Simple Charm.

I dabbled in knitting this week because the art class at school was working on a wool project.  I was just playing around.  It's exciting to see this in SCHOOL!



I took on another customer quilt.  This one needs fabric sewn onto the back so that I can load it onto my longarm frame.  This customer consistently gives me backs that does not have the full five inches on each side for me to load it.  Usually they are sheets that she finds at a thrift shop.  That's fine.  They just need extra time and care.

I currently have 65 on-going projects.
