Sewing, sewing, sewing...

Yay! :-) I didn't have to send my machine off so I have been giving it a work-out this week! Thank you for all your good thoughts and wishes! :-)

Let me back-track. I took it in and the first gal to look at it had me filling out forms to send it in. She thought it was 'frozen real good'. She went in the back to find a loaner for me, but came back out with the shop manager. She tested the wheel and said, it sure does seem frozen, then with a quick flick of her wrist she turned the wheel backwards and out of the bobbin area flew a big piece of what looked like black batting! :-o She said you can turn the wheel back when it is frozen and it won't hurt anything, but might dislodge whatever is in there. It sure did! Now I wondered where that batting came from because I don't own black batting and hadn't sewn anything black lately. The other gal thought maybe it got in there when they serviced it last. ~? She said they have had a lot of machines come in lately that were frozen like mine and when the manager wasn't there to look at them, they sent them back in to the repairman. She didn't know you could fix a machine like that either! So I learned a new trick. But hopefully I will never have to use it! I have never had a machine freeze up on me like it did Monday and hope it never does again! The best news was that it got to come right back home with me! :-)







And I have been sewing! I finished my Christmas gift pillowcases~





And made a few oven door dresses. ;-) And a big pincushion for a friend. Anything else I have made~ I can't show you!! :-)) (hi Mom!)


LOL :-)



Next up on the 'Q' are my mini 9-patch blocks! Colors for the next (and last) round are yellow and purple. Quiltathon is this weekend and I hope to get 'em done! ;-)

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!! :-)
