Wow, seems like the first few cucumbers just came off the vine...and now, we are looking at the end of the crop. Where did June, July and August disappear to. I think mine disappeared in the sewing room. Been a lot of changes in there.
Where to start....
I finished my sunflower project and it came out as expected.

 

I get wrapped up in my designs...I sometimes hate to part with them.

Well, I went from something small to something larger. And in hindsight, I wonder why!

This project was larger than I like to work with. But, it leads to another story. I have an APQS Millineum..I have had Millie since 2005. But, because of some medical issues, I decided to get an APQS George. It is a sit down machine. And while it will require a learn curve, I am sure..It is not something that is beyond my abilities. It really is an entire new avenue into my sewing adventures.

 

This is one of the last larger projects that I will do on the Millie. I have actually set it up in the living room and the George is in the sewing room...in the place of honor! It is not that I will not be using anymore, but at some point the Millie will probably be going to my daughters home in Georgia...a long trip! But, onto other matters. this is quilted but still needs the binding. I have been lagging on that because I have already started my next project.

I have an issue with this project. Because my best friend is a bird lover....and while I am working on a project with a bird theme, I did not want her to feel like she was obligated to purchase or that it was made specifically for her. It was just next!!

 

This is the project that I am now working on. This picture shows the layout and now I am ready to fuse. 

This is the final layout and it is totally fused and part of the initial top stitching is done. This is only the first layer. More to follow.
