Happy New Year



And I am ready- didn't get much finished the last month and I am having sewing machine withdrawal. I did finish up all the birdie blocks and am ready to put them together. I rec'd a new book for Christmas and am anxious to do something new. Hope you all had a Happy Christmas We had a great day- some wished for snow as we can't remember a Christmas that the ground wasn't white and we had the windows opened.

Three weeks since I've posted ; (

Bet you think I've been getting ready for Christmas and doing lots of sewing- you would be wrong. I had a reaction to a med. and I was so stiff and sore I could barely get out of bed. It is getting better and I actually did some decorating today. My DH has done lots for me. I didn't do hardly any shopping so everyone will not get many gifts. Dinner will be at our house with lots of help.
Hope you all are ready and will have a Merry Christmas with your families and friends. I can't wait to get back to sewing.
We usually have snow by this time of the year but none yet. The temp is in the 40's today. BB

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.
