PM Finish an Inktense daylily; needs more color and quilting in background. Then binding.
Sunday is church, day of rest and Bible study
Monday it's finish Fresno Flats piecing and quilting. Binding when I need hand work.
Then I can start a NEW project: my mind is already there.

I am working on a zippered pouch for my friend's Kindle. FMQ each side yesterday, then had to rip out the stitches on the front piece. Just cut out pieces of fabric for a second zippered pouch and am back to FMQ the front piece. Everyone's posted photos look so cool. Gotta get back to sewing but a nap is beginning to sound good. Been up since 4:30am.

sewing machine is not cooperating. I've broken 3 needles, changed the thread 2x, and finally decided it was the bobbin wind that is causing the problem. It sews fine for a short distance, then seizes. Next is finding more thread and rewinding bobbins.

I had a neighbor who would run over at the spur of the moment and need it right now. When I sold all my industrial machines but hid my other ones and then would say, I have no machines now and I don't sew anymore and after a while of saying no, it worked. I don't beat around the bush. I just come right out and say no. lol

Make sure that the small wheel on the big hand wheel is tight. Oil the machine, oil and clean the needle arm, that could be frozen because of dust.
