Rush, rush, rush...Blogtoberfest 2010 - Day 4

So it's Monday and we are going away for 3 days with the kids and I'm doing the usual pack at the last minute trick - only because I can't drag myself away from that denim quilt (um...or the computer!).
It's not quite as bad as it sounds and really isn't too hectic - only 3 come away with us now.
The older ones have Uni and jobs to go to- way more important than going away with the olds.
We are heading to Mittagong and it's only an hours drive south of where we are. The new camera is sure to get a work out - and that will give me lots of blogtoberfest posts later in the month!
*Fingers crossed* there will be seamless blogging for Days 5 & 6.
I'm going to schedule posts  - I hope that's in the spirit and honour of blogtoberfest!

This is coming with me - look how it is growing! I just love the raspberry pink - there is no real plan - just what comes out when I put my hand in the bag!

Here is a bit of a denim quilt update:

I have a little Fall into Fall giveaway here too.

Doing the Denim...Blogtoberfest 2010 - Day 3

I got an urgent call from the oldest daughter aka Pi.
She's doing her honours thesis  - due October 23. She is apparently sleeping in the students office at Uni. Apparently it is cold. She has a perfectly good bed in a perfectly good room, but apparently being close to Uni - cos it's panic stations with the thesis - is what counts*.


So she WANTS her quilt - the one that has been in progress for a while - well if the truth be told, I've been ignoring it and hoping it would go away. I knew the quilting part of it would be the HARD. It's recycled denim squares and my sewing machine complained the whole time I was sewing it together. I've been dreading the next step.


But -today I had to do the unthinkable and get it out.
Taped the backing and batting to the floor, lay out the quilt top and got going with the pinning.

Set the sewing machine up - Of course the machine couldn't cope - the quilt is really HEAVY! I KNEW it wouldn't work.
So I will be hand quilting this. In perle cotton. In big stitches. In the ditch...and around some of the special blocks...I can't bear to think about the binding...


Drop by {tinniegirl} to catch up with some other Blogtoberfest2010 bloggers.
And there is a great giveaway page here at CurlyPops.


 Don't forget my FALL INTO FALL GIVEAWAY on this post here - OPEN TILL FRIDAY 15 OCTOBER

*Personally I think it's the party atmosphere not the urgency of the work - but maybe I'm just jealous that that is all past me??
