Default My wife doesn't think I'm ......

.............. playing with a full deck.

I'm down to the last 6 10 piece strips of the 8th section of my All Machines Quilt. I wanted to use the 9W-7 #2 treadle, but it was outside in the garage. No room in the house.

So I went outside, pulled it out of the garage, set it up and sewed it's strip.



It was COLD, just barely 44° and that machine just took right off. Just like I'd used it yesterday.

I'm almost done with the top. I'll post a pic when I'm finished with the top.

Joe

That is great Joe. You wouldn't have been able to do the up here. We have LOTS of snow, predicted to get more tonight. This is almost spring and now winter decides to visit.

Take a close look MamaBear. Looks like denim squares he is piecing. Look and you may even see goosebumps.

It really was cold here in Central IL today, but a man on a mission can not be stopped.
