My Cabinet

This is the cabinet for the machine below. Will show a different one in a day or so.

Treadle Machine

My DH says I am taking up more than my share of the basement so I have to downsize. I have 8 treadles to show but haven't agreed to the downsize idea (yet) so am just going to show them to you. I didn't take a picture of the cabinet but it has 6 drawers and the machine comes up when you open the lid. I also have a 99 in a portable case and of course a FW plus a Pfaff that is my main machine.

Haven't been doing much sewing as I am having some problems and will have an MRI soon. Hope you all are getting your Christmas sewing finished

Another UFO-finished

Guess I haven't been very faithful about posting on my blog- I have been sewing but mostly articles I can't show. It is a very gloomy day here and wouldn't be surprised if we get a few flurries later. Our quilt guild Christmas party is at noon so hope if its going to snow it waits until later as quite a few members are from out of town.

I had a box of double knit squares that my DH cut for me when he had back surgery and was in a cast for 6 months so decided to sew them together- put fleece on the back - tie them and give them to the grandkids to keep in their cars. This is the last one- ready to be tied. One more UFO finished. This week I have to get busy with some serious sewing. Hope you all are having lots of luck with your projects.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope you all have lots to be thankful for and have a great day. Beautiful weather here in South Dakota 60º today and more good weather tomorrow.

My Book

Look what was in my mailbox- Quiltmaker's new 100 blocks book that I won. There are so many nice blocks and I have several marked already. Thank you Quiltmaker for finding my name. Now I am off to the sewing room -am trying to finish a few Christmas gifts. Have been out to eat 3 times this week- On Monday we went to a second Veterans day meal at our senior center. It was nice that they honored the Vets. On Wednesday our Red hat group went to the cafeteria at the local votech school where the students in the culinary department cook and serve. It was very tasty. On Thursday we went back to the senior center for an early Thanksgiving dinner- turkey and all the trimmings. They had a big crowd and was soooo good. Now for some sewing. Hope you all are having a great day.

A sewing day

Not- today Was supposed to be my sewing day but it didn't happen. After breakfast I put some clothes in the washer and headed into my sewing room. I cut some squares for my yo-yo table topper- oops a telphone call. By the time I finshed talking it was time to make a crockpot of stew ( going to be cold for a few days). I got it all cooking and had to make some lunch- then decided we couldn't have stew with out fresh bread so I made a couple loaves of bread. On the counter was a recipe I found for choc. pumpkin pie so made that while the oven was hot. Then the power went off for 45 min. Everything got done but the bread was a bit crusty but no one complained. Now I am going to chill- no sewing tonight. Hope you all had a good day : 0

Haven't been on my blog for quite a while- am sewing when I get time- making some Christmas presents which I can't show.
Today we went to a Veterans Day dinner served by the American Legion, the VFW and the DAV. It was very good and they had a large crowd. I hope everyone appreciates what the veterans gave up so we could have all our freedoms. Thanks Veterans.
