Quilting for a deadline! 09-11-18

I have not completed the quilting on the 2nd quilt I have been working on and the deadline is Sunday!  I was obliged to go to Surfside QGuild meeting today because I had the Monthly Mini to turn in and also three pounds of See's chocolates spread out on a tray for the refreshment table.  I do this every year in September for my birthday and everyone really enjoys it.   By the end of the break all the candy was gone.  There were 120 in attendance, so it was no surprise it all disappeared.  

Our speaker today was Annie Unrein from "By Annie"  http://www.byannie.com   I enjoyed the presentation very much, but two ladies at lunch thought it was not good.  Problem was they were sitting toward the back and couldn't see much of what Annie held up as she talked.  There are many tutorials on the website and I plan to check some of those out - after the quilting is completed!   I had not thought of how many different kinds of zippers are available - most of Annie's bag designs have multiple zippers.  

I had another birthday lunch.  I am really dragging this out.  Expect there will be even more.  

KoKo is still struggling with me being busy at the sewing machine.  I have tried what I used to do with Corky.  Put his quilt upon the table behind the machine and he would lay there comfortable just to be near me.  I did have to watch that he didn't flip his ear under the pressure foot!   So, I tried it with KoKo, but he won't stay on his quilt and moves over onto the one I am quilting.  This is going to take further training!
