Quilt-Cam, 8/14/13

Helen Marie sent in this photo of her Quilt-Cam sewing set up! She was working on her Step 5 triangles for Orca Bay at the time --- I wonder... 12 years ago

Helen Marie sent in this photo of her Quilt-Cam sewing set up!

She was working on her Step 5 triangles for Orca Bay at the time --- I wonder how far she has gotten since?

I know Quilt-Cam seems to be few and far between, but in the past month I have not had more than one or two nights home in between huge trips –I left for Pennsylvania, visited my friend Mary Koval and taught for her shop, Mary’s Quilts, then on to Hershey for Quilt Odyssey.

I got home Monday night, had Tuesday to play catch up and pack, left for Alaska on Wednesday.

Got home from Alaska on Tuesday, had Wednesday to play catch up, Picked Mickey Depre up at the airport on Thursday to start our whirlwind Collaboration Celebration –Sunday when that was over I whisked her off to the Cabin and the land of “nearly-dial-up-internet” for some hot and heavy book quilt project sewing.

I’m home tonight.  We can do Quilt-Cam tonight!

Because tomorrow I play catch up, pack my bags, and leave for Seattle and the Alaskan Cruise with Sew Many Places on Friday!  I arrive in Seattle on Friday afternoon – we sail out of Seattle on Saturday.  And on it goes---

But tonight we do Quilt-Cam!

I have a confession---

You know all that daylight I couldn’t sleep through in Alaska a bit over a week ago?

Ebay is NOT the thing to be spending time on when you can’t sleep due to body-clock-misalignment!

She’s Green. 1950s Auto-Green!

And do you see her name badge?

What’s the SLOGAN for this machine?

“Electro Hygiene – Good Clean Sewing Fun!!”

((I am only guessing!))

Be sure you wash your hands before you sew?

I giggle every time I read the brand name…what WERE they thinking in the 1950s?  I suppose it could be right up there with the Brylcreem ad of the era “"Brylcreem — A Little Dab'll Do Ya!"”

At any rate – She is ready to sew, are you?

And yes, I'll be working on my Crumb Strips again -- I haven't touched them in nearly a month!  I also have some hints and helps for this year's Leader & Ender Challenge, Split 9-Patch to share!
