One more project

Added final border this morning on the new Artcraft sewing machine. Quilt is all ready to pin baste. May try to snooker bf into pin basting. He has no idea what he has agreed to do. Am planning on taking this quilt to his sister over spring break for her birthday and as a thank you for watching my dogs while we go to Chi Town.

Busy Busy Weekend

On the very last day of February I finished my Valenetines Day quilt. At 6 am I was pin basting and by noon was done stippling. On the way to the fabric store while BF was driving I did the binding. Somehow got homemade spaghetti made from last summer's canned tomatoes. I started making my kitchen curtains but I have a feeling they won't get done because I have ESOL homework to do. Stupid homework!

New Love

Here is the newest member of my fleet. Frankenmuth got it from a family friend and had it refurbished for my birthday. Lot's of bonus points for him. We're trying to figure out its history. Has anyone ever heard of Artcraft? It runs like a champ.

Here are some pictures of fake tubing. I have to admit that I had fun but part of the experience is toting your sled up the hill with tires to help you. Here there was a movable sidewalk that carried your lazy bum up. Where is the cardio and sweat in that? Also, true sledders have to dodge other sledders. Not here. Everyone has their own lane. This was the laziest snow adventure ever. True Michiganians are tougher than this.

Okay, so Frank didn't have a coffee maker out at his house. Being the nice BF that he is he said he would find his in the closet. Finding his coffee maker took 20 minutes, resulted in a full trash bag, and filled the living room for awhile. Thankfully though there is always fresh coffee to be had.

Here is my next project. I have to make 25 of these units. The block is about 16 inches. The magazine I got it from had narrow shashing. I don't think I have it in me to cut 1.5 inch strips and join them together. I'll have to come up with another option. I think a pink sashing might be fun.

Mama Koues bought over 4 yards of this tChristmas panel. I have a feeling she might like it back in the form of somethingr quilted. What should I do with it? It's going to take me months to get through it all.

This is a sideways view of the four placemats I'm making for Liv Koues. I have two of them pieced. Two more to go. I just want to start stipling.

Here is some winter fabric from Mama Koues. The light blue could be a backing but what should I do with the blue that already looks pieced? I have a ton of it. Ideas please!
