Good morning, Begonias. It's bright, clear and windy, just above freezing. My white Lenten roses are hanging in. They're the only flowers I have right now that the deer cannot get to since they're inside the fence. DGD Charlie and her dad will be comiing over this afternoon and staying for dinner. It should be a fun day.
Terriamn and MJP, lovely blocks. Thanks for providing us with some eye candy.
Hope everyone has a great day!

I couldn't even imagine making blocks in the car. You are doing great.
i hope to get three more EPP blocks finished in Omaha. Then lm preparing all the applique blocks. Then on the 2000+ mile ride home I’ll cut out the shapes so I can quickly put them together! At any rate it’s forcing me to be organized.

Ivy's is in one week from today... the last Spring birthday. These are some things I made for her. I plan to do another dress too, if I have time. Gotta get up to Memphis for her BD. (Sorry these aren't blocks, ladies.)

I admire your little cuffs and collar on the baby shirt too! I struggle with cuffs and collars and have never attempted anything so small!

Gutermann is a good quality thread. They make polyester and cotton. Their "Sew All Polyester" is a 40 wt. thread, good for machine or hand sewing. They also have an all cotton thread at 50 wt., which is a little finer. Lots of quilters like 50 wt. for quilting.

That little singer machine I use in Omaha takes any thread as does my Janome. Gutter man is a bit linty, so you might need to clean your machine a little more often but it’s a fine thread.
what machine does everyone take with them when they travel?
