I'm Back

We have been getting snow every few days. Its the heavy wet stuff- but enough already. DH was sick with the crud so our son came and blew out our drive 2 times and a neighbor did it today. I caught the crud also so haven't been doing much either. Today I hand quilted for a while and then made some denim flannel blocks for a quilt for our GGS. I also drew up a block to use for a row robin we are doing in our guild but can't show anything until they are finished.
 DH likes to work on vintage machines and we found a 301A Singer and we have been working on that and have it sewing good.. It is quieter than my FW but a nice machine. We will sell it when I finish playing. I had the light on when I took the picture and it glares.  Hope you are all having good sewing days. mary

Good morning

My computer goofed up yesterday and all I could say was hello. Have been busy hand-quilting a -candle-wicking quilt that I embroidered and I think it is going to take forever. Also working on Row robins in our guild but can't show them until we are finished. Am caught up on birthday blocks and BOMs. I also am making a denim-flannel quilt for GGS.
 Finished therapy on my knee and am doing good- it takes a lot of time to go to therapy 3 times a week.
 We are getting back to normal after our big snowstorm last week. We has over a foot of heavy wet stuff but it had lots of moisture in it. Hope its the last. Many people are still without electricity.
  Hope you are all doing great.  Mary

Hello

Back to sewing

Finally gettin g back in the groove.Am making some blocks for a charity quilt and working on a row robin but can't show it until its finished. We are doing it in our guild.

  Will show you some birthday blocks I rec'd. I joined a group and we exchange blocks for birthdays. Colors don't show up very good but they are really pretty. Have a great day.

Long time since I posted

 Can't believe that I missed all of Feb. and didn't get any sewing done either. Now I really have to play catch- up.
 I had my knee replaced on Feb. 5 and hit a few bumps along the way so it is taking me longer to get over it. Tried hemming a pair of slacks and that went pretty good so maybe can get sewing this week ( I hope) Am taking therapy 3 times a week so that slows me down.
 The quilters on the HGTV forum cheered me up by sending spring FQ's and I rec'd lots of beautiful fabrics. Am looking for a pattern so I can use them all in a quilt.
  I really missed checking all the blogs. Hope you all are having a good week. Keep warm.

My project

This is what I am working on. It is queen size and I have it on my small plastic frame and am hand quilting it. Too cold to be outside but today is coffee day with friends.

Laundry Soap

 .Have you seen all the recipes for laundry soap on the internet?? It is supposed to be very good and cheap so I tried a batch. I got 2 quarts and it is supposed to do 128 loads using 1 Tbls. per load. Looks like mayo only whiter. Will start using some tomorrow. Now I am off to sew. 31.5º here today- almost a heat wave. Lots of sunshine and no wind. Mary
