After the drama of my sewing machine missing stitches it has been looked at by a person who knows what he is doing, has had a couple of new parts, and I was able to collect it the following day. Now that is good service! I actually wonder if my walking foot is moving whilst I am quilting and hitting the needle. I am going very slowly and checking regularly and all seems to be ok at the moment.
My job today is to get this baby quilt, quilted.

| Baby Quilt for E |
I have completed all the quilting down the quilt and now I am making my way across the quilt sewing 1/4" from the seams in each direction. I really want to get this one quilted quickly but I think that other things might displace this job!

Bizarrely, the name tag I made in the swap for the FQ Retreat has been whizzing around the postal system for a whole week and arrived back with me. It has a great big sticker on it saying that not enough postage has been paid. It was sent from our local Post Office, so I hot footed it up the village today, to see if our post office could shed light on it. It has now been restamped and put back in the postal system.

Sorry partner if you are getting anxious about not receiving your name tag, but the postal system has let me down! Let's hope it gets through, second time around!
Have a good weekend. I will be quilting for all I'm worth to get this quilt ready for binding!

I suppose at least your name tag made it back to you rather than just is appearing completely. Hope you get your baby quilt done soon.
ReplyDeleteAt least you go the tag back so you can resend! Good luck with the quilting :o)
ReplyDeleteYou have great sewing machine service. The returned mail is unfortunate but now it is on its way again.
ReplyDeleteAt least you got your name tag back. I quite often have to go to the PO to collect blocks/other stuff sent to me by people who don't get that if it's a fraction thicker than a couple of sheets of paper they need a larger letter stamp. It wouldn't be so bad but normally it's only underpaid by about 20p but the PO fine the receiver a £1 on top too. I guess with Airmail they just return to sender straight away.
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to despair of RM. Have fun quilting! Jxo
ReplyDeletegood luck with the quilting. sometimes taking the foot and its post thing off and putting it back on might tighten it???
ReplyDeleteGlad your machine is getting sorted out.
ReplyDeleteI think that the quilting looks exquisite - just perfect for those special fabrics.
Very glad that RM didn't swallow your tag into their abyss and that it came back to you safe and sound.
Gorgeous quilt - super colours together. So calming. And I hope the Royal Mail rectified THEIR mistake????
ReplyDeleteWhat a palava!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the quilting. How lucky that RM sent the parcel back to you!
ReplyDeleteI hope you didn't have to pay again?!! Glad your machine is better - the quilt looks lovely!
