I am slowly but surely slogging along on getting another top quilted.  I will post a pic when it is done.

What have the rest of you been working on?

Thanks Janis.  They are fun to make.  Some times it feels good to do something with fabric other than make quilts!

Cat Lady, I hate unsewing. I have done my fair share.

Janet, love your totes. I collect all sorts of tote patterns and like to have different totes depending on my mood.

That ranks right up there with the pain of basting the 3 layers together!  It definitely takes longer to reverse sew!

I finally got up the gumption to baste a quilt top made from blocks I made about 11 or 12 yrs ago.  My goal is to have the quilt completed by the end of July.

A while back I bought the foot & beginner ruler from Westalee in the hopes of being able to do more fancy quilting.  On Fri I decided to buy a sampler set to expand my skills even more.  I can tell it is going to take a lot of practice, but I'm bound & determined to get good at using these.  If you are not familiar with these rulers, you can go on to YouTube and watch videos that show you how to  use them.  Can give you the look of longarm quilting, but done on a domestic machine.

Just spent some time unquilting. Not a fun activity, but at least I changed my mind about thread color and motif before I did more than two areas. 

Why does taking the stitches out take so much longer than putting them in?

Here is a pic of another tote I made using a design from Sweet Pea.  Tulips are my favorite flower so I just had to make a tulip tote.  This one is smaller than the sewing one so I will probably use it more like a purse.

Here is a pic of a tote that I made partially on my embroidery machine & partially on my Pfaff.  The sewing motifs were made on my emb machine and they are available at SWPea.com which is the website for Sweet Pea.  I will warn those of you who have emb machines, but have never checked out Sweet Pea's website, be prepared to be overwhelmed!  They have some of the coolest designs you can find on the web!

Wow, Janis!  Your's is a lot fancier than mine!  Mine is manual, not computerized but I wanted a larger throat area than my Brother embroidery machine.  Makes it a lot easier to work with this new one.  Have fun playing with all the bells and whistles!

I turned it on today and set the date, time, language and inches. So far that is as far as I've gotten. It is too big for my cabinet so now my DH is encouraging me to buy a new cabinet which will take a couple of weeks to get. So it's good my old machine still works so I can keep working on my quilt. I may try and embroider something first to test out the Droplight Embroidery Positioning foot. And I may have to test drive the last guide and V-Sonic Pen before I get back to my quilt.
