Distracted Sewing

I have obviously been kind of distracted lately.  Lots of things going on, some good, and some not so great.  Luckily I have had some time to do some mindless sewing which at times helps calm and center.

I quilted my challenge quilt.

I tried doing a spiral, and for some reason was having a tough time, even after watching several videos, and reading a couple of tutorials.  I decided I would call it an organic spiral.  I went slow, tried using my walking foot, that was a bust.  I then decided to use a free motion floating type foot, and I tried to line up with the hash marks.  I still had some weebles, and wobbles. 

I used the Bubble Jet Set, and Bubble Jet Rinse and got my labels for my two quilts ready.

I enjoyed the creative outlet for making the labels this way, but I also enjoy the embroidery at times too.  I love having different options for making my labels.  

Over the weekend I went to Threads of Tradition at Sauder Village, and met cute and very sweet Kris from Kris Loves Fabric and her friend Cheryl.  We went to a hooked rug show, then to Threads of Tradition the village's quilt shop.  All I can say is wow about hooked rugs.  Love them, so many different styles, maybe someday I can make one.  At Threads of Tradition I purchased the kit for the Row by Row.  Kris had visited earlier and gifted me with the laser cut for the quilt row.  A great big thank you Kris!

It is always so great to meet someone who blogs, and you have developed an online friendship.  Unfortunately I did not get a picture of her I know Bad Blogger! 

I will actually have a finish, maybe two to show later on this week.
