I finally got my youngest daughter to learn how to sew on the sewing machine…No ….it is not what you think…her foot wasn’t on the pedal…. I was showing her how to pick up the presser foot…
Look at lines she did…I am amazed…
This is what she is working on….
I can feel the steam coming out my ears…
I am getting the pieces together for the quilt….
The sewing machine is acting up ….because the thread isn’t catching… I checked the tension…. I know to thread it…
It keeps coming lose if the thread is too short….and if the thread is too long it gets tangled…. UGH!!!!
It’s just another hot and sticky day….It’s my day off from work ….I want to work on my daughter’s quilt….
Last week,I had to take my dog to the vet…He strained his back leg…chasing a deer…yes …A deer….plus He weights 119 lbs….
Before I start ….This is our view from our back yard…we have small back yard….because of the golf course….
I am trying to piece this quilt….
But it’s not turning out the way I want….
I am probably going to be using my buddy…the seam ripper….
I hope that I have a better day than yesterday…
I had a bad day at work…then I find out that my oldest daughter got two tickets…..
So the seam ripper and I are best buds….
I took all of those little squares apart…
Now ,I have to figure out how I am going to piece it together…
This is what I have been up to….
I made three inch squares and four inch squares… and trying to come up with additions to the quilt..
I am just putting pieces together a little at a time… This has been in the making for a long time…that’s why it taking a long time to do..
I am glad of the progress….
Today…I am taking a break from my quilt..
I am working on my oldest daughter’s quilt…
As many of you remember …it was music notes…I started it last year..
I started out with just making panels.. That changed also….I am just doing pieces…I will probably update later with pictures…
I was working on the jelly roll quilt…I noticed I had some company…
Three of the four cats are in my room….and as I was sewing the strips…I turned around
My youngest daughter and the cat were laying on the unfinished quilt….which my daughter says is comfy
As I was quilting along….
My twenty something year old Singer wasn’t cut out to do the quilting, plus it was acting up…I cleaned it..still acting up…
I put her in time out for a while…
I brought out the old lady to do the job…
She is doing a wonderful job right now…zooming through each row….
I found the instruction manual for the brother machine…
So far I made my bed….
I am eating my breakfast…
Next is to decide on what projects to work on… The containers are filled with some of my stash…..
I know… It’s messy..lol….I have to straighten it up….that’s where my main projects are….
My one of two sewing machines……I think..I will work on the two quilts…. I don’t have anyone not telling me what to do…and I can be loud if I want too!!!!
It’s Sunday..I don’t know what I am going to do….
I already took my son to my sister’s house and took my husband to work…My in laws and my youngest daughter went to a ball game….My oldest daughter is going to her Dad’s house….
I have the house to myself…
Do I work on one of my many projects?
My quilt, my daughter’s quilt, my son’s jacket,the mystery project or crochet?
I do need to make my bed first….
