New Friends

     I HAVE A NEW FRIEND TO TAKE TO SEWING CLASSES.   SHE WON'T BE SO HARD TO HAUL AROUND AND WON'T MAKE ME GRUNT  ;   LIKE I AM WEIGHT LIFTING WHEN I PICK HER UP.  


I TESTED HER OUT AND SEWS JUST FINE.   I JUST HAVE TO REMEMBER TO PUT THE BOBBIN IN THE OPPOSITE WAY I AM USED TO.   MRS. BERNINA MAY GET A BIT JEALOUS!   I ALSO PURCHASED A WALKING MADE ESPECIALLY  FOR HER AND HAD TO TRY THAT OUT ALSO.


IT WORKED JUST GREAT! OF COURSE I ALSO PURCHASED MORE BOBBINS AND THE BEST FOOT EVER, THE 1/4" FOOT.   I DID A TEST PIECE TO MAKE SURE IT WAS EXACTLY A 1/4".   IT WAS! I AM THRILLED! NOW I DO NOT DREAD GOING TO A CLASS AND LUGGING AROUND FORTY TO FIFTY POUNDS OF METAL.


NOW TOMORROW I HAVE MY PRAIRIE WOMEN CLASS TO GO TO . I WILL GIVE YOU A SNEAK PEAK AT WHAT I AM WORKING ON.



THIS IS BARBRA BRACKMEN CIVIL WAR BLOCK # 43.    ARE YOU KEEPING UP?

ALL FOR NOW , TAKE CARE,SOOTHE YOU SOUL AND TAKE A FEW STITCHES.

MARTHA

  I have been doing some more sewing of flying geese, the past couple of days.  I have made some progress as I have about twenty sashings total sewn now.  Here are pics of what I have finished so far. I also got back another lap quilt from the quilter and I have sewn down the binding on the front side. In the evenings I am enjoying hand sewing the back side.   I also purchased some Applipops  , which were a bit on the expensive side($35) and decided to try them for all the circles in this quilt. They are not worth the price in my opinion.  To each his own. I prefer my mylar circle washers, There are many more sizes and easier to use. I am linking with  Life in pieces, 15 minutes to stash Quilting is more fun than housework Patchwork and Quilts Slow Sunday Stitching
