It’s been a very busy two weeks…dealing with the usual life interruptions plus preparing for, then entertaining,
and then wrapping up after company last weekend. But I did squeeze in some quilty indulgences
along the way. Last Thursday our
local quilt club sponsored a workshop with a Sulky representative. I was delighted to be exposed to some new-to-me
techniques that can be done on my Janome sewing machine. I always assumed that I would need a true
embroidery machine to do some of the applications we played with. Unfortunately, I don’t have any photos of
those, but the workshop included a package of goodies including these Sulky threads that I will enjoy using.
I never know what off-the-wall tips I’ll get when I go to
these events. The tables we had to set
our machines on were a little too high for comfortable work. Here is the solution one of my classmates
came up with...of course then my feet didn't want to touch the floor, but I could at least see what I was sewing.

What fun, and what a lovely grouping of new threads to play with! Were you able to photograph the quilts at the exhibition?
Sounds like you had a great time with company and then later with your quilt group, Mary. Pretty threads you were given so that was a nice plus.
Gorgeous threads Mary!
The class sounds like it was fun and I like the double chair solution! lol
