WIP & Pranks

Happy April 1st! I hear that I’m supposed to be tricking you all, but I don’t think that will actually be happening. As a child, I never liked being the target of April Fools Day pranks- probably because I got picked on enough the rest of the year. Fortunately, As I’ve grown up, I’ve found…

WIP Wednesday

Yet another week has gone by with my regular sewing machine in the shop. It will be 3 full weeks on Saturday. But the good news is, that gave me a reason to talk my husband into actually getting my Featherweight oiled. So, I’ve been using it to create this week’s Project Quilting challenge quilt.…

My first attempt at using the flower stitch foot

This week I feel like I’ve gotten a lot of sewing done, at least as compared to last week. I completed another round of project quilting- a post about my completed project will be up on Friday. And I did some testing with my new flower stitch foot.  Apparently I’m not smart enough to use…

Works in Progress

I have to admit to being a complete slacker and getting almost no sewing accomplished since my last WiP post. I did finish up my mini quilt for the 1st Project Quilting challenge of the season. You can vote for your favorites until 8:00pm CST on Friday, January 16th, 2015. The only other thing that…

Works in Progress

The new year has started off pretty well for me, at least as far as my quilting goes. I finished Rayden’s baby quilt. I’m almost done with the 1st Project Quilting Challenge. I just need to add my binding to it. And with the help of my MIL, I finally got the impromptu quilt basted.…
