FAL2016 2nd Quarter

I have chosen 4 more projects for the Finish A Long 2016. Again I have chosen 2 mini’s, an unfinished top, and a top needing quilting. The mini’s each need a border and quilting. I love the little nine by nine patch. I must make more of these. The sampler needs borders.  Just haven’t figured […]

Earlier this month, I wrote about my sewing machine having an issue.  Well, it was making a noise ever since.  I decided to bring it to the shop.  While there, my sister loaned me her new machine. Over the summer her beau, with my assistance, purchased my sister a sewing machine.  I had been discussing […]
