Sewing Yoga - by Angie Clemons

Yo Quilt friends,

Pretty sure I've created a new form of yoga at my sit-down quilting machine. I get on a roll and instead of stopping to reposition my hands I find myself strrrretched across the table and quilt (which is not what I'm supposed to be doing). If I drop my scissors I bend and stretch trying to reach them without having to get outta my chair. The power button is at the back of the machine. Being short means I get another stretch in my routine as I reach for the button. I know I can't reach it with my left hand but I try it every stinkin' time, so I have to go at it again with the right. Grrr! The bobbin is located under the machine table so I almost stand on my head to put in a new bobbin. The end of the quilt yoga routine is determined by whether or not my thread tension was good or a struggle. When it's good I end my session with a peaceful "sighhhhhh". When it's bad I might chunk my quilt, my chakras, and whatever else is nearby across the room.

Rhonda Chapman taught a Bionic Gear Bag workshop last week and it was great! What a good, patient teacher!! And, wow, did she ever need that patience. Ha! People keep asking if I'm going to make another. Maybe someday, but not today. It's a lot more work than the wristlet and placement bags I usually make, but way more cool. 









Serger workshop is Saturday, October 27. Can't wait! We also have a couple of charity sew days coming up to work on the quilt for Quiltcon. We need all hands on deck to knock out that bad boy. Annnnnd, the monthly meeting is set for the 4th thurs (October 25th) where Kate and Rhonda are planning to demonstrate how to make zipper pouches in the hoop on their embroidery machines. Boggles my mind!
Fall is finally here! Whooooooop! Is there anything better than working on a quilt and sipping a cuppa hot tea (or coffee or wine) when the weather is cool? And I'm my case, while also watching college football on tv. Bliss.
Join us on Sew Day or as meeting!
