I really need to get serious about weight loss. I haven't been trying, but the pants are a little looser. But I need to lose some serious weight. So tomorrow morning, rain, sun, sleet or snow, I am going to walk. I have a beautiful walking path down main street to a community park with a walking path, so there is no excuse. I just need to do it.


This week I am quilting a quilt for a client and I am using prewound bobbins of Bottom Line thread. I am having a lot of issues with the tension. It changes from bobbin to bobbin which it really shouldn't do. It is a very large quilt and there is just a small space beside it on the frame to test the bobbin tension on. The tension looks great till I start into a sharp curve and then the bobbin thread is pulling to the front. I took a minute, went to youtube and found a video on how to set the tension when you are having this particular problem, so I will try again tomorrow.


I am trying to stay home and work on my quilting and the new house instead of flipping around to everything that is going on in the quilting and motorcycle part of my world. It is really hard for me as I am a very social creature and always have been. Life is good and I count my blessings and realize just how good it is.


If I finish the quilt tomorrow, I will try and post pics tomorrow afternoon. It is turning out great. She wanted a panto and I would have preferred custom quilting, but I understand the reasoning behind the request.

I have really neglected my blog, but I have been sooooo busy with the house. I am working on the last moving boxes now and hope to have everything put up by the end of next week.


This past weekend, I spent 3 days in Virginia Beach, Virginia at Birds of a Feather long arm conference. It was fabulous and I learned so much and can't wait to apply my new knowledge to my next customers quilt which I will start tomorrow morning. We are waiting on ice and snow here in the south, so hopefully I will get a lot done in the next couple of days.


Stay warm
