Josh Moving - fn

Rachelle got an adjunct professor position at IWU.  She received the call on Monday while at the engine show in Iowa.  They came back to Wheaton on Monday, drove back to Marion on Tuesday and she taught her class on Wednesday.  Josh drove back here on Thursday and pulled their stuff out of the attic.  He loaded up some other stuff and headed back on Friday.




Saturday, we met them halfway to switch back our vehicles.  We met in Plymouth, IN and we had a wonderful couple hours together.

Testing the size of pictures

I learned that Jackie can't see the pictures because she is using dial-up.
So, my main object here is test the size of pictures.
You have already seen these pictures, but I have resized them.



These are all resized.







Let me know if this picture size makes it better or worse for anyone.

Quilting Weekend - fn

So far, M has done all the posting.  She has her computer right with her, so I didn't have to go upstairs and turn mine on.  Made it very convenient.

This was our end result.  10 quilts quilted.



This was my quilt.  I had embroidered the blocks a couple years ago.

 Don't know how to rotate this picture





This was created by A - butterflies




On Monday, we went to our friend Charlene's house and quilted on her big, modern Gammill.  Really different experience from our antique.  Did La's wedding quilt.





This one was made by La several years ago.





There were several more that M took pictures of and I didn't, so she'll have to share those.

That's all for now.

From Wilma - fn

Just received this picture from Wilma.
Sam was going to work on her stone over Labor Day weekend and it looks like he made great progress!
Looks beautiful, Sam !!!

Quilting Weekend

The quilting weekend has begun.
This is what a queen size quilt batt looks like straight out of the suitcase using one of those vacuum bags.

One in the bag.  One out of the bag.

Practicing.  Quilt one down.

Quilt number two down.

Working on quilt number three.

Here is the stack of tops waiting to be worked on.  Do you think we will finish them before I go home?

We have plenty of quilt batts on hand.  We can always go to the store if we need more.
