On Saturday I spent the day with my lace making friends - I am still working on the table cloth edging that I started over 3 years ago! I am nearly at the third corner - so it should only be another year or so before I finish :-))
Yesterday I spent in the garden cutting back over grown bushes and the dead heads from the Hollyhocks and red hot pokers. I have potted up some of my white/blush pink geraniums but still have more to do - these will over winter in my spare bedroom.
I thought I would do some more sewing on the double Irish chain quilt but everything has gone wrong - I got threads caught up and the stitching went funny - so I unpicked! then the bobbin ran out and I hadn't any wound, so had stop to wind bobbins, then I didn't get the bobbin case back in properly and the machine jammed! I don't know whether to try again this afternoon or leave it till tomorrow and start afreash then. I have a lot still to do on this large quilt but I hopr that it will be finished by the end of October. Keep your fingers crossed for me that everything goes right tomorrow.

The lace is beautiful, and the quilting brilliant. Hope you get the machine to play nicely today.
THE lace is BEAUTIFUL, sometimes we just have to leave and come back so ------- don't happen!
Sue the machine played nicely yesterday afternoon - most of the 'spaces' were quilted by 5pm last night then I stopped......not risking falling over again cos I was too tired! :-))
