Feather Weight Testing

These are the blocks I created while testing my new to me, feather weight sewing machine. Just to make sure I like the machine. I DO! Sews like a dream and she is so small.

As for the rest of my day I need to load a Love Quilt on the frame so I can turn it in Monday evening.

Happy Sewing.

New Toys

I had a friend bring me back a Oliso Iron from the Knoxville Quilt Show. So far I like it.

And ...................... a feather weight sewing machine, a 1950 model in mint condition. She got a good work out this morning. Now I need a 1/4 inch foot.

Itty Bitty Flimsy

See the evoluation of this top. I had two pieces of fun animal print so I put them at the top and bottom. Then it seemed not wide enough so I searched in my stash for a large print with yellow green in it. This large leaf / flower print fit it perfectly. This was so much fun to put together.

I do have a gallon size bag of more itty bitties just waiting for their turn. :-)))

This top will now join others waiting for their calling.

Itty Bitties, Visitor

Here are my itty bitties sewn together in long strips with a light blue strip in 2 widths 2.5 and 3 inches. It is evolving nicely.

Next post I'll show the completed itty bitty quilt top. I haven't quite decided what other sewing project I will be doing today. BUT rest assured I'll be sewing something.

Finishing Projects

A brown and yellow pet quilt for the animal hospital in town.

A soft looking lap quilt... ready for when I need to give one.

2 flannel rag baby quilts. The blue and yellow one is quilted more than the pink and purple one. They both started out the same size. Celeste if you are reading this, these are the quilts coming for the grands. I just need to make and sew the labels.

I've been sewing my "ity bitties" and have a new setting for them. I'll show that in the next post.

Hot off the frame!

I quilted the orphan quilt top this evening. I free handed feathers gallore. It made me smile to look at it after it was finished. I'm finally starting to like my quilting... Does anyone else have this problem?

It will go to a friend in need.

My Morning View

Here is a picture of Sebastian sitting on my lap giving me therapy. That's what we call it. It's very relaxing. He is a "big boy".











I spent the first part of my morning before 7am on the front porch. I like listening to the sounds of nature waking up. Chickadees chirping, humming birds buzzing by my chair, a pair of wood peckers looking for food. All this and more makes for a lovely start to my day.

There is a green lizard in the middle of the flowers. Cute!

More to come....
