WIP Wednesday
Sewing seems to have it’s good days and it’s bad days around here. Some days, I manage to finish my last piece of stitching just before my bobbin run out, other times, I end up with a machine malfunction and a quilt stuck in the machine. This was a quilt stuck in the machine sort…
Read MoreWIP Wednesday – A New Machine
I’ve been a big slacker about getting any sewing done lately, what with the new baby ducks, and my utter laziness. But I do still have something to share with you this week- a brand new (to me) sewing machine. This jewel was my birthday gift from my husband. It’s about a month after my…
Read MoreIt Has to Have a Motor
Over the last few months, my husband and I have been watching a episode of Deep Space 9 each night before bed. Yes, we are nerdy like that. The other night, I mentioned that I would love to have the $6000 leather catsuit that Alternate Universe Kira wears. I think it would be super awesome…
Read MoreA Tiny Addition (to my sewing machine collection)
I stopped by one of the local antique malls over the weekend, hoping to find some inexpensive, but classy jewelry to wear to my brother-in-law’s wedding.

My husband is magic with electricity, and machines of all sorts. However, I still haven’t gotten to do any sewing with my machine.…
Read MoreA Christmas for Sewing
My husband gave me the best Christmas present I could think of, and better yet, I wasn’t expecting it. He bought me a Singer Featherweight sewing machine! There’s a little damage to the cord that Matt wants to fix before he’ll let me use it. He’s afraid I might burn up the motor with the…
Read MoreFancy Feet
Thanks to a recent episode of Sewing with Nancy, I’ve decided I want to try out some fancy new feet for my sewing machine. I’m so glad I remembered to set my DVR. Apparently the local PBS thinks they should run the sewing shows at 6 o’clock on Saturday mornings. Crazy people. Don’t they know…
Read MoreThat Quilt Project
So, it has occurred to me that I haven’t bothered to tell you all how my quilt project is going, in quite a while. Basically, as soon as I got my sewing machine back, I started having problems with it again. This is a big problem! Partly, because I’d like to get the pieces for…
