Two done- 138 to go

Today is the day I am finally getting started- am not going to set any time limit but just sew them when I feel like it. Sounds like we are going to get some heavy wet snow tomorrow so I may get a few more finished.
My favorite Sister- in- law was diagnosed with the terrible C so if you have time to offer a prayer for her we would appreciate it.

Gift Kit-finished

Hope you all had a Happy Valentine's Day. Still having beautiful weather in SD so we have been going- going -going. Stayed home when it was so cold. Today we went to a movie and lunch with friends. I did manage to finish the binding for my Jewel Box and send it off to the quilter. Also finished a kit I rec'd for Christmas. Happy quilting!!

Sewing Machine Repair

A beautiful day in South Dakota after all the cold weather and snow it is 40 degrees and water is running and the snow is settling so it can't blow. Have not accomplished a lot. I am the kind of quilter who hears "Lets have a game of cards and I am ready. My house is clean but not always in order. I was going to sew on my featherweight and it wouldn't sew. I wanted to sew on the sun porch so I could see outside. I was bummed. My DH went to the repair shop and they wanted $60 just to look at it. I looked around the internet and read some tutorials and decided I would fix it- and I did. Now I have more money to spend on fabric. I am sewing strips for the binding on my jewel box.

Jewel Box Quilt

Finally got my Jewel Box top together. I am going to have it machine quilted. These are some of the blocks from a swap and are all 30's fabrics.
Nice day here after all the cold days. Nice to have the sun shining and no wind. Hope you are all warm and safe after all the bad weather in the country.
