Greetings!
Thank you Lana for getting the thread started yet again! Good luck with the swap ideas. I’m sure you will do something wonderful!
I have a busy schedule this week, including a couple of craft seminars to go to with a friend, skiing on Wednesday, cleaning and packing for our weekend trip, and mailing Valentines.
I would also like to take some pictures for my blog this week.
Today we will watch the Super Bowl during which I will probably work on a CCS project, since I finished knitting the Seahawks scarf last night. Just need to tie in the ends. I plan to give this one to my DSisIL as a hostess/birthday gift.
Yesterday I cut the pieces for the pillow shams, sewed the half-square triangles, and have the pieces laid out for sewing. I hope to get the tops pieced today and perhaps get the borders sewn on. I’ll have to wait till I get my sewing machine back from the shop to do the quilting, but if I have the time and inclination, I could get the quilt and shams sandwiched and ready.
I looked at a new sewing machine yesterday. They’ve got a pretty sweet deal on it and it has a larger harp (throat) which would be really wonderful to use for this queen size quilt I will be quilting. Cons … The expense (having trouble justifying it, although they are offering free financing for 60 months); It’s very large and heavy; I would also need a new sewing table for it; Learning curve (it operates quite differently than my current machine which I love).
