Then I switched gears and pulled out the Embroidery machine to work on some machine applique blocks that have been in a tote for over a year. I actually moved my Juki out of the way and put the Pfaff in it's place. I figure this way I'll be more likely to stick with it until I have the satin stitching done.



Macybaby 365 is looking good, I think the total scrappy will look great surrounding the controlled center! You have awesome color sense.

I finished the last 6 blocks for my color study that I have been working on the past few months. I am contemplating borders and might get the rows sewed together this weekend, not sure since we have other plans for today. However, Monday is a holiday here (Marathon Monday/Patriot's day) so I will get some sewing done then.
Color study is outstanding, very crisp and clean!

This is my crayon challenge top - colour was "Mauvelous".

Here are my tops finished today. The first is the Christmas top for charity, and the second is an I Spy top for a customer who will quilt it herself.

I am finally able to spend time sewing today. I went downstairs to get a bigger needle for my sewing machine and got sidetracked. . I cut some fleece into smaller pieces for toy stuffing, cut borders for a baby quilt, and ran some scraps through my cutting machine. I brought some things upstairs, but not the needle! So another trip down to get it. Now I am sewing toys shut and sewing new ones to be stuffed.

Connie glad you got some sewing done, weather is so nice for up here this time of year.

I still have not gotten anything sewn this weekend and probably will not, impromptu dinner with friends last night then cards after dinner. Was able to get 3 of the gardens cleaned and today did church, about to finish the bible study for tonight then back to cleaning the garden. But had to check in, thanks for all the pictures.
