Quilting Through The Weekend!

I walked in the front door to find a group gathered in the dining room – 
Dianna was presenting a featherweight maintenance demo to a group of vintage machine lovers, focusing mainly on featherweights, but also talking about 301 machines and how much they have in common. 
Chances are, if you have a featherweight or two, your next “Must Have” is a singer 301!
Both are very popular machines for bringing to retreat, and easy to maintain on your own.
It also goes to prove that dining rooms are good for more than just dining!

But there is plenty of that going on, too!

Now that November is turning a bit chillier, the Hen Den is getting quite a bit more use – look who I found here!

Projects are being worked on, tops are coming together –
All in hopes of having them done for this afternoon’s over-the-porch-rail photo op!

The one thing I love about Scrappy Mountain Majesties (Free Patterns tab) is that there are so many different ways to set these blocks!

Time to sew them together!

Not sure what to call it yet, but I’ll be working on this over the net several weeks and it may become my next hand quilting project. (Because some quilts just need to SLOW THE HECK DOWN!)
