Yes, I’m quilting 2 quilts at once. Each on different machines. On my Janome 8900, is the labyrinth quilt that I posted about in March. Really? It doesn’t seem like that long ago. I’m still deciding what to quilt – so for bits of time, it’s just sitting there. Then, on my Janome 6500, I’m doing outline quilting on the quilt that is using this fabric: 
I have not been through the door of any fabric store – sew it’s been super easy to not buy any fabric this week.

You don’t see the glue or moisture when you use flannel. When using cotton, it shows up – big time! You can definitely see where the moisture comes through. This is OK. It usually disappears by the time it’s dry. If the glue is super heavy or not diluted enough – you’ll still see it after it’s dry. This is OK – just take your time quilting it and it’ll wash out. (If you don’t wash your quilts before giving or using them, then don’t use this method.)
And when I attempted to sew them together, even when I pin – the joining sides end up looking like this the picture to the right.
together! Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s put a dent in my 2″ square box. Hmmm, I think that what they say about scraps having sex and multiplying must be true!
While I was quilting my Kansas Troubles, Irish Chain, I ran out of quilting thread … the spool you see in the picture was emptied and I had less than 1/2 a bobbin … groan … I asked a bunch of friends to find out where I could buy it. I usually buy it from the Canadian distributer (Carola’s) when she has a booth at quilt shows. The local stores (within 75 km) that sell Aurifil didn’t have this colour. {Although, one did contact me later to say they did have it.}
I was away for just over a week. Went up into the interior of BC. There are over 120 wildfires burning in the province and I had to take detours in order to get there and back home. The detours added between 2 and 4 hours to the 12 hour trip – one way. Mostly because with the longer drives, I need to stop more often.
And I’ve almost finished a smaller machine mat. I need to buy a pair of scissors and find the button so I can attach the thread catcher. All the sewing is done. And yes, it’s the same material as the larger one, except I used purple instead of yellow on the flange binding.
Not a lot to report. No fabric shopping. I did finish the large sewing machine mat. I have a smaller one in progress. Using almost the same fabrics. Am thinking about using purple instead of yellow for the binding.
