More Free Motion Machine Quilting

Good Morning, Quilters!

Summer has been crazy here at The Kennedy Residence (read more HERE),  but Faye, Nora and I did sneak away to our local quilt shop, Bear Patch Quilting, for a little retail therapy!

Be sure to follow us all on Instagram–for more behind the scenes action–including the wedding festivities!!!

A NEW LOOK AT QUILT FABRIC

It was so much fun to see a quilt store and the array of fabrics through a beginner’s eyes!

Faye and Nora had a great time–like kids in a candy store! (Don’t we all still have that feeling!?)

They’ll be sharing their color palette soon!

SERGING FAYE’S INDIGO FABRIC

Faye was drawn to quilting by a collection of Indigo fabric she found at a quilt show.  (Read Fayes’ post about Indigo HERE)

The shop owner recommended serging the Indigo before washing it, so I pulled my serger out of the basement to see if I could figure out how to thread it again.

We were in for some good luck!  The serger was still threaded and it stitched like a charm, in spite of my horrible neglect over the past five years!

Nora and Faye zipped through the serging in no time at all–

I just hope they don’t think quilting will be that fast or that imprecise!

WHAT’S UNDER YOUR NEEDLE?

Are YOU stitching or gardening?  Quilting or family time?

Have YOU ever taught a beginner how to quilt?

Are YOU a beginner?  What helped YOU the most?

Did YOU start The Splendid Sampler?

Have YOU had a little retail therapy lately? What did YOU find?

We’d LOVE to hear!

Mama Lori,
