Another spin on the longarm machine

 Twas a weekend full of crafty goodness for me.  On Saturday morning, I made my third trip to try my hand at longarm quilting a quilt.  I chose a simple wavy design for this busy scrap quilt, and got some knitting done while I supervised the machine.

I am knitting a Wave of Change Pullover

Today's weather was nasty - freezing rain and cold winds, perfect for staying inside.  I pawed through the scrap bin to find some reds and greens to start this year's Scrap Buster Challenge from Border Creek Station.  One block is sewn together,

I'm thinking scrappy red and green for a non-traditional holiday quilt

a couple more are cut out and ready to sew.

I'm not ready for the weekend to end, but I AM looking forward to next weekend.  A couple years ago I suggested that our on campus art gallery invite quilter Chawne Kimber to exhibit, and it is finally happening!  The exhibit opens next Sunday evening.  Unfortunately, she won't be accompanying her quilts, but I'm still pumped.  I've been a fan for years, and I am most excited to see "The One for Eric G" in person. (for some reason, most of the photos on her blog are not showing up for me today; is it just me?)

I'm linking up with Oh Scrap.

Your new block looks very pretty, the start of a great quilt! The quilt on the quilting frame is another treasure. Happy stitching and enjoy the quilt display!
