    I have more blocks, though my machine is running on empty and is only limping along... Strange it's not letting me link back into my URL...

    Seriously for me these groupings blow me away. It's like time trapped for a moment, a moment of memories.

    Seriously, I could name each outfit and with a little effort I could guess how old my daughter was when she wore it. I wish you could see them in person, there are so many textures, it's as fun to touch as to look at. Okay So maybe I'm overly excited by my own stuff, but with the machine not hanging on I have to keep my momentum going somehow.

    Look at all those pretty hearts! Are you sure your machine is broken?!! Seriously, you're doing great. I hope your machine gets fixed or quits giving you trouble.

    I'm sure about the sewing machine. Last night we were just barely nursing it along to get the squares chained stitched into bias triangles, it was so bad I just wanted to give up. DH help me, and we did get the triangles made, but I don't particualarly want to cut apart the chain now, because then I will have all these parts I could "lose" in the time it will take to resolve the sewing machine. Rumor has it my shipping company will decide by the end of today. So here we are...

    Thank you all for your compliments. When my machine works it sews like a dream, I suppose that helps make me more fustrated. Four of those hearts I did in a day and ever since then all I can do is piddle along. :(

    Aww, I'm sorry you're having so much trouble with your machine. I read your other post about the problems you're having and I do hope it's all resolved soon! You're doing such great work, I'd hate to see you get discouraged for any reason.
