SEWING IS SLOW BUT POSITIVE


 Yes the sewing is slow but positive....what i mean is it gets done when i am feeling like i should and can sit at the machine for a length of time.....the picture at the left is of some scrap i saved years ago when i was making some baby quilts....Why i saved them is beyond me...i think it must have been because of the colors....i seem to be partial to solid pastels for some reason. Anyway i threw them together to get them out of my clothes basket of blocks and this is what resulted....It's only 13 inches square but useable....i need all the practice i can get machine quilting so it was good to practice on....

I also have a couple runners sitting by the machine set up for quilting on my dining table that need batting so i can quilt them for more practice made from scrap on the table....and by my other machine in sewing room i have several potholders waiting to have batting....I made new batting from scrap for a couple bigger pieces but now i have to dig for more pieces to make for the potholders....that is like a jigsaw puzzle...i have so many differences of thickness of batt pieces to match up....I do have a 45x60 batt i could cut into but that will be last resort and probably sooner than i think.

Today i hope to get in and sew....this last month has been hard on my health but i am always trying to work my way to sew....sometimes its ok other times i just give in and rest....for now its a go......more later
