Here is the Brain Tease pattern. it goes super fast. they are like giant "E"s..laying up and over...kind of reminds me of brickwork. i think i need a better picture of that back. oops!
This one is the Maze. very cool and hypnotizing. quick and easy to do.
And i am getting tops quilted out of the cabinet at an alarming rate...yipee!!
On the un-quilting front....we are STILL working on demolishing the first tree that was taken down by the house. who knew it would take weeks to get rid of a tree. but it has been SO hot that we have not worked on it every day. but last night i had a huge pile in the large trailer again to be put through the chipper/shredder. dear hubby was inquiring when i would finish that up as he intended to add even more to the pile the next day. so, i got up from my sewing machine...where i was having a lovely time piecing selvage blocks....and went out to do my duty. siiggghh!! it took me 3 hours to chip up all the trailer load and i got 3 more trash cans full of mulch. he is now...as we speak....out there filling up the trailer again.
When i put the mulch down for the last bed in front of the shed at the studio i injured my back....i expect from hauling trash cans of too heavy mulch. so i hobbled around for a few days with heating pads and ibuprofen. then the grass simply HAD to be mowed. so i thought i would do as much as i could. our ground is very uneven...due to creatures digging out there and men (no names mentioned) driving trucks over the grass. so i spent a couple hours bouncing around on the mower. and....when i got done.....my back didn't hurt. i believe i found a new home remedy..LOL....kind of like my own chiropractor. i guess the bouncing around got me all shifted back in place. amazing. so 2 nights ago i mowed again with a sore back and came back a couple hours later a new woman. but i don't know what i will do in the winter when there is no grass to cut to cure my aching back.
I have gotten a couple customer quilts done this last week, too. and today am going to load another of mine to play with. it will be a baptist fan template. the Quiltazoid people say you can use other brands with their systems also, so i am putting that to the test. i'll let you know how it goes. then i have a lovely pink baby quilt for a customer to do.
On Wednesday i am off for a long weekend at my sister's. there is a huge book sale at the high school scheduled for thursday and thrift shopping for friday. on saturday we might go out to her house so i can check out her progress. she has had rocks delivered for her driveway and has been spreading. and i have more firewood to bring home from her place. I'll check back in with you next week.
Have a lovely weekend...try and stay cool....and happy quilting.
