Quilting Friends,

In the heat of our Florida summer, while I’m not unpacking into my new house, I’m sewing up a storm.  I quilted and bound 4 quilts last week!  Here is one I finished a few weeks ago.  Its called June Bloom, a pattern by Emily Taylor.  I really enjoyed making this collage quilt.  So much freedom!  At the Sewing Studio, we’re selling the pattern and a fabric kit, so all you need to get is 5 yards of Steam-a-Seam2 Lite.  

 

You may not know that the Calendar page on the website is a quick way to view upcoming events all over the state.  Give it a look-see.

Happy Quilting, 

      Mary-Jeanine

PS: I’d love to hear from you, so drop me a line sometime.

FOR SALE:   BabyLock JAZZ       $650.00

 

I have a three-year old Babylock Jazz that is not getting nearly enough use, and I would like to sell it. Included is the rolling table, along with the rolling carrying case, all shown in the attached photo.

 

Asking price for all is $650. I live in Lake Mary, and if anyone interested wants to try out the machine before purchasing, that's fine.

 

 Contact me at 407-732-7182, or by email at spinphd@gmail.com.

 

Many thanks,

Catherine Foster
