So, the resident computer nerd looked at my laptop and said I need a new computer. That is one expensive kitten for one we got free!

Last week I basted four sandwiches ready for quilting but before I could share them the cat broke the computer. Well, here they are

Hexagon Stars

 Drunkard's Path Turtles for my grandson Ben.

 Scrappy Feathered Star Medallion

You will notice that I am getting my usual help. Evidently if there is a quilt on a table it doesn't count as being on the table. She knows she is not supposed to be on the table, but it becomes a bed when the quilt is on it.

And this Pinwheel quilt which is on the of the series. I hope I will be through with them all soon!

So now I am pretty well caught up. I am three-quarters of the way through the washing of the wool, I should be able to finish that part next week. I've been doing a little carding every day, there is still a long way to go on that. I did try to spin a little of it, but I am having trouble with the wheel, it has been sitting for a long time and needed new drive bands. Now the wheel rod isn't turning the wheel full circle so that the treadle isn't coming all the way back up so I have to replace the ties and I need some leather lacing for that. Also it could be that the small wheel is too small for such a heavy yarn and I need to bring the big wheel down. Personally I am of that opinion but I thought I would try just this last thing. I don't have room down here for both wheels, but I don't like having them up in the attic where I can't use them.

I am still having trouble with Julia Juki and the free motion. I knew the part I ordered was not going to fix that, I just had to wait until I had the money to get the second part. It is now ordered.

I also have ordered some more heddles for the loom, so when I get them it's back to work on the threading.

And so, lunch is ready and I can't eat it at the computer, so I'm going to go eat and then decided what to do for this afternoon's hand work. Probably some applique in the style of Baltimore Album. I started one a long time ago and I want to get it done, I am determined that I won't have tubs of UFOs sitting around anymore!
