Veronica and I get to stay in the RV at night, it's nice and quiet. We set up the most fabulous quilting area. She says it's called "Glamping", hmmm, not sure, but ok, I'm game, I'll go with it.
So our first night here, we pulled out all the quilting goodies that Veronica brought. Here is every Deb Tucker ruler and Technique Sheet that Studio 180 sells. Boy, are we gonna have some fun!
Veronica brought enough fabric to equal the local quilt shop. We'll be going over there one day this week to check out all her new stuff. It's called Mama's Quilt Shop, in Independence, Louisiana. The owner, Brenda, is fabulous, we just love her.
Once we got everything set up the way we wanted it, Veronica decided she needed to get the last 12 blocks made for the charity quilt she's working on. She found 30 Grandmother's Fan blocks in "the Box", that's what she called it, honest. (Next week's post will be all about "the Box").
I was really confused, looked like a regular box to me and it was full of fabric. So anyway, she set to work getting the blocks finished. She worked on them at Lakeview Quilt Guilds Sew-In last week and got 18 done. She got the other 12 finished now, so all she has to do is put them together and quilt it.
The whole time she was sewing I heard her muttering about how she wished she had her Juki machine here, seems it has a "foot" that comes "up" when she stops sewing for a sec. She said it sure would be easier sewing curves that way. Then she explained that she brought her "mechanical" Bernina that is 30 years old. Said she felt comfortable leaving it in the RV when we're not around.
She said it was a workhorse, but I didn't see a fluffy tail on it like my horse has. Anyway, she managed to get them finished even if she did use her workhorse. So, I guess that's good.
Next up is finishing more stuff from "the Box" using her Deb Tucker rulers. Ooohhh, I can't wait...
Those pictures will get posted on Instagram as we get them done.
