in my sewing room-------------- rain! rain! rain!
Today in my sewing it seem like I just couldn't stay with my sewing, it must be the weather. LOL! anyway I did get some of my pink sq. and and triangles put together so maybe on Friday I can get more done, if all goes well this top will be done next week.Wednesday I got out another quilt that i have been working on ,it is a (quilt as you go) strip piecing, each block is 10 inches and its going to make a big quilt, but I still have got a lots of block to go. When and if I get it done it will be a reversible quilt one side is in all different color fabric and the other side is done all in blues, so for it is making up pretty. Tonight I had to go to the store for food, will have the grandchildren this week in and they love to eat, maybe not the good food, but what they can have at Granny's house. I also got them a new board game to play this week in. I think the granddaughters is going to work a little on their quilt, they will pick their fabric out to trim their block and I am going to let them use the sewing machine with my help, and talking about sewing machine, I had to take mine to be repair ,it will be about 7 day before I can pick it up so I'm using the little machine it does OK and will be good for the girls to learn on. This is all for now hope everyone will have a wonderful day tomorrow. until later HAPPY SEWING!--------PROVERBS 10; verse 32 Righteous people know the kind thing to say, but the wicked are always saying things that hurt.

Morning Connie. Leah enjoys sewing, too. I hope she continues on with it, at least a little. Her Mom nor Aunt,nor her other grandmother do any type of crafts, that I know of. Leah may not continue on with what I teach her either, but it can be a boring life if you don't learn to entertain yourself when you're alone.She likes to try out the different stitches on my new machine.I wore my old machine out and had to buy a new one and they don't make simple machines anymore. I guess I could have had the old one fixed, but since it would cost as much as a new one, I chose the new one, and now wish that I would have had the older one fixed. These new computer machines can be complicated.But back to Leah, she was busily sewing one day when she was here, and all of a sudden she jumped up and suggested we go outside and do something else. I thought it was strange, for her to switch interests so quick, since she was getting better about not doing that, but I found out why, later. She had gotten a ball of thread wadded up in the machine, and I had to take the machine apart to get it to do anything. It was locked up completely with that ball of thread.No harm done,but I guess she was afraid to tell me what had happened. I found out later when I needed to use the machine again.
ReplyDeleteConnie, I am tackling a quilt. I can see how it could be addictive. I hate to quit. I guess Pop thinks I've abandoned him. When he leaves I'm quilting, and when he returns, I'm quilting. It's a crazy quilt of sorts, no specific pattern. I have it about 4X5 ft. so far.I like it so well, I may just make a full size quilt with it, and use on the beds for a spread.I think I'll pick up some quilting gadgets tomorrow to make some procedures quicker and handier. I could turn into a regular quilter who uses pattern.(It's doubtful though. I'm an aquarius, like Mom)I wonder what sign you and Vicki are.Later.
ReplyDeleteI love the New header. Did you make the quilt yourself? It's great.
ReplyDeleteI've never done quilt as you go before. Is it difficult? I hate when my machine is in the shop and go through withdrawal. Have fun with your granddaughters! :) Christine
ReplyDeleteI love to hear Moms and Grandmothers passing on quilting and sewing skills.
