Problem averted

Problem averted as there was plenty of fusible web at the fair. I had been using Bondaweb, but they had Steam-a-Seam 2, and I think I'm converted as it was fairly handy. That said, any shop near me stocks Bondaweb, so I may get a supply of Steam-a-Seam for particular things.

Workshop went well on the first day, but I had so many problems with my machine the next! Yes, I know, only a bad work(wo)man blames their tools, but I had to change bobbin thread, top thread, tension, stitch length, re-thread several times... My thread kept jumping off the tensioner so all told the back is not very attractive, but for once I don't care. It's going onto my wall, right side out, so I don't care about the back.

Photos of quilts with pets seems de rigeur, so I thought I'd sign off with a photo of my helper, Winky. She may be 7, but she's a big kitten!

Drat

and drat some more. I have a workshop this weekend
http://www.cavanmuseum.ie/LQF-Brochure-2009.pdf (Red Poppies) with the Lakeland Quilt Fair and need to order some fusible web, having just finished what I have. Unfortunately, I don't live anywhere near shops, and I have just discovered that my credit card has been copied, and now cancelled, so I can't order online. There are a few shops which are selling at the Quilt Fair, so fingers crossed someone is selling what I want to buy!

Finishing off a Nancy Halvorsen wallhanging I started last week to demonstrate using fusible web to our group. Picture to follow, hopefully.
