Wall hanging



When I was looking for something to hang on the wall after the Christmas things were put away I came across this picture. It is not centered but you can use your imagination. I made it in 2004 so decided it could be hanging. Have been busy working on my row robin and signature blocks. Hard to believe January is almost gone and I have not accomplished much and what i have I can't show you.



It is a dreary day here with a few snow flurries now and then- a good day to curl up on the couch with a good book.

HGTV BOM



Have you seen the BOM on HGTV quilting forum?? It is designed by CBQ and Ivy Cottage. The blocks are from Quilters Cache. I decided to do it in fall fabrics because I have quite a few in my stash. I am also doing a row robin that I can't show. We will see those in Sept.



We haven't had winter in South Dakota- today it is 57 degrees. Probably another record. So far no snow in our area. It has been so nice that we are out a lot before the first blizzard gets here. Hope you are all having good sewing days.

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
