Sewing, quilting and blowing my nose

I'm finally feeling a bit better with this flu thing. Still keeping the Puffs tissue company in business and still coughing, but I am so much better, I am able to work almost a full day!
Yesterday, I made a small nursing home lap quilt for a demo I'll be doing at my evening guild next week. I'm going to show the invisible binding technique I learned at the Bernina booth during our show. I have used this method for charity and utility quilts, and love it. I can get the binding on and sewn down on a twin sized quilt in about 25 minutes. Yup...25 minutes. I timed it on the last one I finished.  Maybe I'll make a little tutorial here. Stay tuned!

My go to pattern, Warm wishes. It is a free download from Quiltmaker magazine's website. It goes together in an hour or so start to finish!

Panto: Flower Power, another favorite.

I had this feather fabric for the back. Sideways, but nice.

Mr Wazoo quilted this little table runner for a customer before doing a bit of yard duty. He does love to go outside to play. Too cold for Molly and me!

A pretty runner ready for next Christmas!!

Panto: Poinsettia

These are pictures from yesterday, working on the Hawaiian quilt and finishing all the borders. Today, I did the quilting in the block motifs and tomorrow, it will be taken off the machine, trimmed and sent back to Florida! I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

The motifs in the borders are this beautiful batik. 

I changed up the background fill only slightly, adding hook-swirls I picked up watching Jamie Wallen on Youtube. If you're ever too sick to quilt, go to Youtube and watch other people quilt!

Tomorrow is the guild board meeting, and then I'm off to see my friend's new house! I'm so happy she will be a bit closer to town, and that she and her husband will have a huge new studio to work in. 

Home made chicken soup for supper, some TV and early bed. Getting over the flu one day at a time.
