It's back!

http://www.jaybirdquilts.com/p/tutorials.html
This is an interesting page of a variety of tutorials. I only checked out one, the doll's dresses quilt. However it uses a panel and they are not always easy to find but you can use the layout for any kind of block or for embroidery blocks.

My embroidery machine came home today. I had forgotten everything and had to work it all out again. That was not as easy as it sounds. But I did get started after a while. My first embroidery piece was for Michelle , a coffee cup, but it did not turn out very well so I plan to get it done tomorrow or Sunday. I can't spend all my days embroidering and leaving Ray at loose ends. I even used the wrong stabilizer. Time to sharpen up!

 

After we picked up my machine and paid Tom $475 for the job, Ray thought it should have been free but that's Ray LOL, I was just happy to get it back, we went to IHOP for lunch. It was a big lunch so we had a corned beef sandwich for dinner. Good enough as I was not very hungry.

I made two more snowball blocks while the embroidery machine was working its little head off  haha. I will need to get many more of them done pretty soon. Not that a date bothers me, there is always next year and generally for me it happens next year. I want to work tonight but Ray insists that I don't work too hard. He must know something I don't LOL.

 

Aren't these colours delicious ?I have loved the colours of yarn all my life, even as a young child. Colour just does something to me.

 

It must be so for Aaron , my grandson . See his new machine.

Beautiful isn't it. His brother Sam always goes for black. Funny that!

 

Apron number two. These little aprons are so lovely.

 

Now aren't these gorgeous and so cleverly arranged.

Scrappy Floating Stars . I was thinking about  doing this pattern while I was laying in bed last night. Why do we quilt all night LOL. If I am awake I think about quilting. Some life eh!  With any luck I can sew tomorrow and if not then Sunday for sure.
