The ever-so boring life of Martha

It always pays to read directions at least one time all the way through....  Sometimes one needs to read the directions more than one time.... It prevents said person from making 16 blocks that are too small.   There is now way to fix it, other than make 16 new blocks,  which I have dutifully done !             I've sewed them all together...   The length is good,  Now I'm not happy with the width              It Doesn't look bad,  but after all the trouble I want it big enough to cover my bed !!!                                                  I'm not running low on scraps either :> It Back to sew world and marathon sewing....  I'll have to see what hits my fancy on Netflix

This is for Torey's little boy that was born this week!

Everyone is having babies!  Here's another baby quilt all done

so what do you do when you've made way too many 4 patches for a Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt?                    You dig around in her freebie section and find another quilt to make !!!

                                               2 post's in one day.....wow !!! I just finished the crab apple tree that is in one of Bonnie Hunter's books.  I love and it is doggie approved.   It's on my bed right now, but once it starts getting cold out,  this will be my snuggle                                                         quilt in the living room.

So several months ago I Scored a Singer Featherweight 221. It just needed some cleaning, oiling, and some TLC and off it went !  I was just missing some "parts"   The Lady that I bought it from said that she'd look around the house and see if she could find the parts.  I went back to the shop, parentals went to the shop....nothing. SO yesterday I swung buy for one last try, Guess what was waiting on me !?!?!   rest of the Parts I've also been looking for a Slant-o-matic (aka Rocketeer by Singer)  The first time I saw one on EBay, the price was reasonable...Then because I decided that I wanted one, the price soared. They say that patience is a virtue,  I truly need to work on that one,  BUT look what I found !!!                    It's got all the goodies too !!!!  Including the hinges that fit into a sewing table                   ...

 I haven't been in the mood to work on this.  It's been a long week.   It is time for a diversion .  A Healthful Region                                                       March in the Mountains                                                   What I've accomplished so far
