Did I say rain?

It was a beautiful, warm (77 degrees) day. Mixed blessing...lovely day meant yard work. Got the lawn mowed and about a 1000 out of a bazillion weeds pulled. I'm getting closer to pushing the button...

No, not those buttons, this button: I got to play a bit with the Juki TL2010Q sewing machine last weekend and I really liked it. Now I just need to decide on a frame. I have a feeling getting a new sewing machine and a quilt frame are not going to solve the real problem:



What do I quilt in this space? I hate the phase "quilt as desired". I desire inspiration, I desire examples and suggestions. I also desire dark chocolate, but that is a different subject.

Enjoy finding a new machine and frame :-) What a fun post :-)

Fun..choosing a new machine and frame to quilt! Hope you find just what you want. A frame can be a big help.
As to the quilting space...you may have already finished by now...but with the vibrant designs in your fabric, you might want to follow those for inspiration inside the blocks and then something simpler in the sashing...like one big zig zag line. (hope that makes sense)
And as to dark chocolate :-) I headed to Trader Joe's the other day and bought several dark chocolate bars for taste tests. So far, a little tin with bits of chocolate (only 1 calorie a piece :-) is good..though my DH stole it to put bits in his coffee. But the second bar also passes the taste test...I have several yet to try but the carbs are low in all of them so we will see who wins.

I can help you! I know a great chocolate shop!

Just checking in to see if you had eaten all the chocolate--no, did you order yet? And did you decide how to quilt the space...I spend more of my time making decisions than I do sewing.
