Thanks Lois & Lori for stopping by! : ) I was glad to hear of your Summer trips, & sewing stuff!!! Thanks for allowing me to share mine too. Leigh Anne, I missed you...& Sean!
If there's a Bee next week, I won't be there. Next Monday I leave for Sewing Camp @ Mama Barb's!!! : ) I have my jacket pattern & fabric all set to go! I have a list of things I want to learn - French seams, zippers, how to read & interpret a clothing pattern, pattern fitting, etc...
I have my fabric, notions & sewing machine packed & ready for my class @ Country Quiltworks tomorrow. The class is Precision Piecing, & it's being taught by Sally Collins I am looking forward to it!!! I signed up for this MONTHS ago. I'll keep my machine packed & ready for Barb's... So much sewing, so little time...?! ; )
Today I made binding. I have decided how to quilt the Dresden Plate project & hope to get underway soon! This evening I measured the backing to the top & it should fit...!? I'd like to get the quilt sandwich basted (again!), & marked in preparation for machine quilting. I still need to do a sleeve & a label too, but the binding is READY!!! I LIKE the feeling of forward progression!!! : )
Meanwhile, I am continuing to make blocks for the Pastel Bubbles project. That's my current machine project when I'm home. And, I am making some progress on my BOM 8 - my hand applique project when I can't use my sewing machine. Again, sew much sewing, sew little time...
My thoughts are with all the other Mama's too...Jean & your oldest friend. Cathy - I can't tell if you're on vacation or not?! Mare. Mo - who I thought was on vacation, but must be home. Peggy - I wish I could give you some motivation. Here's hoping the slump is short lived! Dolores - what are you doing? Vacationing? How are your kids & Rocky...?!
Alright, enjoy your evening. Stitch when you get the chance! My new QNM came in yesterday's mail!!! How are those Jennifer Chiaverini books...?! Have an AWESOME tomorrow. : )
Piecefully, Pam

Hey...sorry I missed last night. Pam - have fun at your class today. A perfect rainy day to sit and sew and look at the corn fields. I love that shop - haven't been there in such a long time. Having the binding ready to go is the best!! Looking forward to seeing the Dresden Plate and your quilting design. I got the coolest quilting book in the mail yesterday - I'll share it at next bee. Hope the vacationing Mamas are having fun...what's everyone working on? Pam - if I don't see you before sewing camp - have a sensational time. Hope you're getting lots of sleep this week preparing for Hurricane Barb!! Please tell her we said hello. Enjoy the day...piece.
Mamas are alive and well at the shore! Cath, Mar and I are hoping to go to Calico & Cotton on Friday. Well, they're hoping, I'm hoping for Ike's. Mama J, sorry to hear about your friend's mom. I'll say a prayer. Pam, I won't see ya before you leave, so have a great time. You'll have lots to tell and show me when you get back. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the Mamas when I get back!
Pam - have a great time on your camping trip next week and enjoy your class today. Hoping to get to calico 'n cotton on Friday.
Can't wait to see everyone at the next bee.
