Sharin'

                          
We had a sewing room day!  Marsel finished putting borders on her quilt and then we loaded it on the frame for her to start to quilt.
I forged a plan to make the quilt to use in my new bedroom.  Two blocks down and only 62 more to go!  We did pretty well sharing the sewing machine, cutting matt, rulers, etc!  The kids mostly played well and in between rain bouts, David and Bill burned another pile of brush which helped to discharge some excess energy.
I also started the next dish towel and gave Marsel her first weaving lesson.  She is a natural!  The pattern for this one is hopsack.  It looks like a gingham, doesn't it?!

    Your quilts are beautiful.

    Hopefully you can spread the loom bug to Marsel!

    I have a blanket pattern that uses hopsack. I really want to give it a try!

    How long does it take to quilt a quilt with the long-arm sewing machine?

    I love the quilt colors you are doing. I love browns!
