New project!!

I ordered a Cricut Imagination machine......   I tried it out but, it doesnt compare to my love for sewing.  So I decided to send it back and down grade to a smaller version, because I dont need all the 'bells & whistles' for the grandkids photos. Or maybe I just don't need it!!  (there's a thought!) hmmm

Walking Foot

I bought a walking foot on Ebay 1 month ago.  ($45)  Finally, got to try it out today.  Everything was smooth sailing.  I quilted around a wall hanging and it worked great.  Now I am excited to actually start quilting  a child sized quilt.  I can't wait!!!

String Quilt block

I was able to remove my boot today and get started on a string quilt!!  YIPPEE!!  I must say these are quite fun.  They don't look like much until you get them squared-up.  Finally, using my scraps before they take over my sewing room.

PATTERNS......PATTERNS

Since I am unable to sew until the BOOT comes off, I am acting like a pattern junkie!!!!  Graph paper, pencils, and crayons, are my new best friends.  This is probably the only way I would take time out to create.  I usually find the fabric first and then find a pattern, it is now the exact opposite.  Which way do you create??

One hour out and about!!

Daughter took me out today to buy fabric backing for a quilt......  Why did I leave the coupon at home???  Probably another excuse to get out tomorrow. LOL!!! I'm getting ready to figure out how to sew with the left foot!!  Wish me luck.

Sewing Time Out...

I'm on a sewing time out because I had surgery on my ankle yesterday.  BOOOOO.  So I am drawing and lining up the next projects!!!!  I guess that means I will have to shop for fabric too.  What else am I to do??
