It's going on 2am and I can't sleep so I loaded another quilt on the frame. This lack of sleep is killing me and we have a very busy weekend coming up so I hope that I'm not exhausted. Anyway, I used a quilting design that a friend gave me that I've not tried before. I forgot the name of it but I like it. LOL! My machine is doing a lot better but not perfect....I'm getting there.
My sister spent the night with me a couple of days ago and we were trying to fill out her wedding invitations and her poodle, Zoey started pouting because we were not paying attention to her so she decided to sit in the box of invitations so we couldn't get to them. :) Dogs can be so silly and Zoey is spoiled.
I've also been working in more apples. As you can see these are HUGE! Lot's of work but I love being able to put all of these apples up for the family to eat later.
My mom came home a couple of hours ago! That makes me very happy. I've been so worried about her while she was gone this time. She has been having some health issues and I don't like her being that far away.
Our little town is having it's Septemberfest this weekend. So Saturday will be a very busy day for us. For one thing, deer archery season starts on Saturday, so I'm hoping that Richard gets a deer which season is in until some time in January, but I'm wanting to can some of the meat for later. Hunter also wants me to take him in town for the parade at 11am. Then I have a baby shower at 2pm and then the main festivities for the festival is Saturday night. Not sure if I will have the energy to take him back in for that but Andrew said that if I didn't feel like taking Hunter that evening that he would. I was very proud of him for offering since he is 20 and doesn't mind for his little brother hanging around. :) Then Sunday we have Church and after Church mom's work is hosting another family outing to a local amusement park. So with all of this that I have to do this weekend, if you don't hear from me for a while you will know why. :)

Another one quilted! This one is called, Shades of Lilac. A baby quilt that I pieced last year when I had my surgery.
I quilted a large design called, Flower Power.
It feels great to have another one done. I still have to do the binding on this one too.
I still have several to do but I need to stop this machine quilting and get back to working on my sister's wedding stuff.
This seems like it will be another long night as I it is already almost 1am and I am wide awake. :)

I had a few good nights of sleep and now I'm back to being up all night. Can you tell that my body does not adjust well to change. :(
So I did a little more adjusting on my quilt machine and found that once I turned off the stitch regulator it sewed a lot better, not perfect but better. I quilted this one of mine and it did fairly well until that last row and it was a headache. I had to pick that last row out twice.
Overall it turned out okay, I just had to double check every stitch that I made. Another one of my quilts quilted and marked off the list.
I loaded another quilt on the frame, you can see the purple one here. It is a large crib/lap size. I've decided that I don't want to load another huge one on the frame until I get it completely lined out.
I also got the yellow binding finished this morning on the baby quilt. I'm glad to have that finished as I need it this coming weekend as a shower gift. I still have 2 more quilts that need the binding done and that is not counting the purple one on the frame. One of the quilts that needs binding is one that I forgot to take a photo of. I'll post it once I start on the binding.
I sat down last night and counted and I still have 34 of my own that need quilted.
I guess that is all for now, Richard is sleeping because he worked last night. I'll probably get him up sometime around 3:30pm so I had better get off of here and clean the house up a bit because once he's up I can't get anything done. Anyone else like that?
