How It Goes
The project is going well. I have a large amount of my fabric cut. I’ve completed all of the cuts for the 60 inch circle. As well as all of the cuts for the 46-inch circle. Although, I did decide to make the stripes 2-inches across instead of 1-inch. Not only was this less cuts,…

I’ve realized today that even tough I cannot sew anything together for my quilt, there is still a lot I can do. For once I’m actually going to cut all of the fabric out for a project before I start sewing. Maybe this will be a good thing. I’ll even know if I have enough of all…

Thanks so much to Mary Kay for all of the help with getting the problem solved. I also replaced the sewing needle. That seemed to help a bit. It made things work…

Well, it’s been a couple of weeks since I posted anything here on the blog. This is because my grama Ruby recently passed away, and I’ve been busy with related stuff. Grama was here on earth for 89 years, and lived to see 7 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren born and was able to attend the weddings of…
