Its here

this morning I got a message from dh saying that half the frame had

been delivered.

then his workmate pulled into the driveway with the rest of it.

I am now the proud owner of

a John Watts Quilter, not a bad deal

either, freight cost for the frame.

$220 total, I saved dh thousands of $$$

So excitement

but

the camper trailer needs to move house so it can be set up

in the garage full time

currently its the 1st thing you see when you walk in the front door

Lordy its huge

dh is going to make a bench for it to sit on as its

supposed to sit on the dining table but

A) my dining room won't accomodate it and

B) I actually prefer to sit at the dining table lol plus

we would have to manhandle it upstairs and that just

isn't going to happen.

and the first of 42 blocks for a new quilt

the fabric is a layer cake of

Martinique which I have had in the stash for

2 years oops

and my Pies and Tarts quilt well I am going to take the bottom

2 rows off and have it 7x7, the 1st 2 rows of tarts are

pinned on I just need some motivation to sew them down

Berries and Bluebirds is 100% finished, it just needs a wash and a

tumble in the dryer, same for Down in the Garden.

Susan, I did my P&T's quilt as a BOM through Patchwork with Busyfingers

I started collecting the bits in late 2008.
