OH NO!!!

I am not a happy camper today. My Gammill has been slowly acting weird for about a month and yesterday it balked completely. After a morning on the phone with Gerald (thank you), I found out the mother board is bad. Poop! I called my dealer and it would be several days before they could come, so I ordered the part (gasp!) and will attempt to install it myself. Meanwhile, all quilting has ground to a halt. I have some important show work to do, so I have my fingers crossed for a quick fix and a fast start once the part arrives. I hope you all are having a good start to 2012. Mine has been delayed. More later!

quilts I sent are all at their new homes!

One daughter got the Christmas quilt, one got her retro quilt, and the two little Beatles fans got their wild quilts. The house is clean and the cookies are all baked and boxed. Gifts are under the tree nd all is ready for Santa's visit. Merry Christmas to all my friends out there in blog-land, and a happy and quilty New Year!!

Grandma, What did you do today?

I started making the Christmas cookies! It may not look like much, but it was a day's work, for sure. More tomorrow! I love Christmas. Three days until the kids come.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

What did Grandma do today? Decorate the tree, get out the snowmen and Santas and make some cookies. Now, my feet are killing me and I dread making supper. Oh well, sacrificing comfort for the holiday festivities is not a bad chore...just a tiring one. Time for a toddy (or two)!

Finished with the Raffle quilt!

I finished the quilting of the guild raffle quilt, and now I have to get ready for another Christmas.Two of the kids can get away and come for the holiday, so it should be a festive occasion. I am now officially on vacation! Happy Christmas everyone!

Long day...tired feet!

All day on one border! Loads of marking and ruler work that will be difficult to see from more than two feet away. Oh well, it's done and now I only have one more border to go. It's the appliqued one, and I think it will be another long day tomorrow. I'm hoping to have my part done and hand off the quilt by the end of the week, then I'm on to another quilting adventure!! I love my job!

Another raffle quilt!

I started yesterday on my local guild's raffle quilt for 2012. The photos are from yesterday, only the stitching in the ditch was done. Never fear! Today, I began the quilting in earnest and worked all day on the main blocks and sashing...photos tomorrow! There are three big borders to do, too, so I'll be busy. Then I will hand it off to another brave soul for the sleeve and binding. Ho ho ho!! Done for Christmas...?

Busy week...catching up on Christmas orders

Boy, I am pooped!! It has been a whirlwind week of quilting here at WAZOO! and I am almost done with the Christmas orders from my customers. Some are off to northern climes for the holidays, and some just need to get their bindings on before family comes here. I wish there was more time in a day to get some of my Christmas sewing done, but I think just having two of the kids here will be gift enough. Anyhoo,enjoy the photos. Good night!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas at WAZOO!

I think quilters suddenly realized how close to the holidays it is and hurried to get their Christmas quilts in. I have had the christmas music cranked and the Gammill humming to keep ahead of the game. Here are a few of the quilts from last week. I'll put this week's bounty up later in the week.
