Been busy I think

I have been making 5 and 6 inch string squares. I have two different projects I am trying to finish. They are going slow, but a few each day. 

I have papers cut and I just start sewing. The larger squares are very close to being done. It is going to be a queen sized quilt. I really think I will do a quilt as you go technique. It is a better fix for me to get this accomplished. 

I have been looking into getting a frame for doing machine quilting. Several companies have the frames and you use a machine you have. 

The biggest problem is the size of the area you need to have a frame standing up to work on it. If I get one I can get a quilt done in sections and then it is more manageable. I have done that with the domestic machine quilting anyway. 

The big thing is the frame with the carriage for making it mobile. There are several knock offs available on the net so need to do some studying. I know you are limited to the area of the quilting because of the open area in the machine you use. Lots to think of. 

Sun is blinding me as I type We finally had rain the other night and it rained about 3/4 of and inch. WE haven't had rain in about 50 days to amount to anything. 

Well hopefully you are enjoying the last few days of Summer. Fall is coming on Friday. Where has this year gone? Chris
