Roundabout

My Schnibble is done for March.

The Tootie Babies loved the new "quill".

Here is Sarah posing while naming the colors of the buttons.

And, Emily taking a little break this morning to watch a show. Her new favorite is Dora, the Explorer.

It's going to be a pretty litte quilt.

National Quilt Day

Yes, today is National Quilt Day! It's also the first day of Spring! Guess what Texas' weather is like today? Yep, SNOWING!

Well, my machine is fixed and home. Look what followed us...

It's a big box...with lots of stuff in it.

Well, looky-here...

It's not my old Bernina...

It's my new Bernina!

I Broke My Sewing Machine...

Yep, did it all by myself too! Who knew that part wasn't supposed to come out? Anyway, it's being fixed to the tune of $145.00. Good grief, that was an expensive home cleaning.

So, what am I doing while I can't piece on the machine? Why do I want to machine piece so badly when I usually would only sew by hand? Applique, of course!

Thrifty, block #8 of Celebration of American Life, a Blackbird Design book.

I'm still making a basket a day. January, February and March.

Five blocks completed out of nine for Holly and Berries. This is a quilt in Small Favorites for All Seasons also by Blackbird Designs. I have four blocks to go.

This is month one and two of Holly and Mistletoe, a block of the month from Homestead Hearth. Ok, the log cabins are machine pieced but I did them way back in January. I love this quilt! It comes from When The Cold Wind Blows by Blackbird Designs.

I'm busy and getting lots of things accomplished just like I normally would. I even borrowed my daughter's machine and still it sits unused. Go figure!
