The Quadrille Quilt has arrived home safely. My son Levi gave it a huge hug! It's always exciting when a quilt comes back home. Seeing Quadrille after a few months away was wonderful.
Here's a flat view of the Quadrille quilt. The large scale blocks and modern color scheme make this quilt sparkle.
The large size of Quadrille fits fabulously on my King Size bed. It actually drapes over the sides quite a bit. Yes, I'm sleeping under it. I may keep it on the bed all Winter. It's extra cuddly!
If you would like to sew your own Quadrille quilt, the pattern is in the current issue of Modern Quilts Unlimited, Issue 20. Available at your local quilt shop now. If you sew one of my patterns, please send me a photo. I would love to see it!
I'm so excited! My husband found this beautiful Singer 301A at the Habitat for Humanity, recognized it as my favorite machine, and brought it home. Cabinet and all, it was only $26.00.
The Singer 301A, and the Singer 301 are both the same machine. They were only made for a few years in the early 1960's in South Carolina. I believe production on these machines stopped after a factory fire destroyed the building.
This machine is in excellent condition. It appears to have very little use. After cleaning and maintenance, she is ready to sew. I'm keeping this machine in the living room. I'll be doing all my piecing on this machine this Fall.
The 301A is a workhorse of a sewing machine. It only sews straight stitch, but is extremely fast, even, and hardy. This machine is sometimes known as the Featherweight's "big sister".
This is the same machine, in the beige finish. These machines were made in three color variations, all black, all beige, and a two tone beige and cream combination. Both of my machines are the "short bed" style. Some are "long bed", meaning the little fold up edge where you access the bobbin area is a little bit longer.

It's been a busy week for me ~ One of my children had a birthday, and my oldest son went off to begin college. This is the only new thing added to the shop this week.
Only eleven more days until all three of the boys are back in school. It's been slow going on the Supernova quilt, but I've made a little progress. Here's a peek of the project box. All pieces have been cut. Most of the fabrics are batiks.
I made eight little yellow and black triangle squares. So cute!
They became triangle sections with the addition of black and pink triangles.
Lots of triangles, dancing across the design wall!
A few more triangles added to get to this stage.
And, I ended with these pieces; almost enough to finish the first few blocks.
