Connie - cute block:-)
I am back from my weaving conference and settled back into everyday stuff. I have added a couple of tools to my sewing arsenal which are proving helpful. I picked up a folding cutting table on Craigslist for a good price. What a back saver that is. I had been doing all my layouts and cutting on my dining room table and it was just too low. This is nice because if I need my dining room as a real dining room, the cutting table can fold up and my drop-leaf dining table can come back out.
I also now have a scant 1/4" piecing foot and it really improved my seams. I was using an acrylic guide and it seemed that I could never get it quite right. I got the foot for both my short and slant shank machines. I really like having useful tools for a given craft. There are so many things out there that sounds good but just don't work as hoped.
I finished a catch-up block: February's Grandma's Favorite and the July bonus block Flying Squares.
