Jasmine Quilt Frame




Yea...we finally got some snow - and to top that it was Thunder Snow!  I didn't realize how dangerous thunder snow is until they were talking about it on the news this morning.  My husband and I were babysitting with the grandkids when the snow came - Mom and Dad has gone out for a late Valentine Day Celebration.  We had so much fun watching the kids playing in the snow.
 I have an absolutely adorable picture of Toby (1 year old) holding his first snowball but I cannot get blogspot to rotate it to portrait.   Makes no sense...it is portrait in my folder, but when I import it, comes out landscape. 

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
 

 
 Yesterday morning my Jasmine quilt frame arrived.  It is just beautiful.  I am showing you the back view here - it will adjust to several different angles - this one just happens to be perfect when I am sitting and quilting. 

I purchased mine on EBAY, but there is a site where you can find them - http://www.hellotrade.com/jasmine-heirlooms/hoops-and-stands.html .  I could not find a price chart anywhere on the site.

 Here is a view of the hoop.  Notice the nice thingie used to tighten the hoop - so easy to turn rather than one of those wing nuts that my regular hoop has.  The wood is very smooth and pretty - a very nice finish.

The hoop will rotate 360 degrees !



And here is where I will be spending a lot of time today - in my comfy chair quilting and watching the Hallmark Movie Channel.  Husband has made a big pot of  vegetable beef soup  - woohoo, gonna be a good day!  Oh hon,.....put some coffee on.

And finally, an update on my klosje progress - well somewhat of an update.  Toby discovered my basket of blocks. 

I think he was sorting them for me, or maybe un-sorting them.  Whatever, he got a lot of enjoyment out of those blocks.

Hope you all have a good day,
Teresa

  3. How great to have a Jasmine quilt frame. I think they're wonderful for hand stitching. Your hands won't get sore from holding a hoop. Your stitching plan - coffee, and later, soup - sound soo relaxing. That Toby is an imp - sorting quilt block hmmm? Such a cutie!

  4. If you figure out how to make the pictures upright, please let me know.
    When they "improved" blogger, they might have added a feature for rotating pictures ... along with size and left-right orientation.
