quilt shop trip pix-ATTN: sunnycentralfl (Gwen)

16 years ago

Hi all...and a special hi to Gwen!

I started out today to go to a quilt shop by my sister's house, but there was no-one there! Sooo, we decided to go up to a shop in Mercer PA that Gwen had suggested called the Gallery.

What a great time we had!!!! Bought some Moda's and some Elm Creeks, and some patterns. LOL.

Here is a pix of the store front...and a picture of the owner Sandy and myself. (Sandy is on the left, I'm on the right)

GWEN! Sandy and Frank said "Hi!". Sandy said it's been too long, when are you coming up for a visit?, she misses you!

Thanks for "introducing" me to Sandy and her FABULOUS shop!!

I guess I should have noted that I posted this under the discussion side so that Gwen could see it, because I do not think she goes to the conversation side. Her email address is not listed under her forum name, so this is the only option I had for allowing her to see the pictures.

1. Out of lurkdom now. 2. Tinkered with the I Spy block layout Sunday and ended up changing positions on about 3/4ths of the squares. It helped to take it off the design wall in the basement and work with it draped on the sofa and flat on the dining room table. Each position and lighting situation showed different areas for improvement. 3. Sewed 4 blocks together. Well, I actually sewed 16 blocks into 4 squares. I got answers to my stitch length question here on the forum, and then found out that I've got one of those machines that sews a 1/4 inch seam on only the left side of the feed dogs, so I had to really watch for pulling to the left. Time for a another machine. This kind of short-term goal setting (babysteps!) is just what I need. Seems like Red Green said something about if you want success, aim low--LOL! Sharon C.

Are you quilting this weekend? Aug. 3-5
Q

Rosa, I'm sorry that happened to you! I should take my own advice... I wanted to sew in the living room so I could watch TV so I took the machine off the bedroom desk and put it on a table in front of the sofa... started to stitch and snap! The machine locked up and the display said "safety device activated"... at least I found the part of the needle that broke off and it didn't land inside the machine... my machine defaults to the left needle position when you turn it on, and if I'd been sewing in my normal spot I'd have remembered to change it, but with the moving to the living room bit thrown in to the mix, I simply forgot. Sometimes, mechanical machines that stay where we put them are best! I have a nice new gouge in my new quarter inch foot now... I guess it can be called a battle scar :o)

Thanks again!
