Sewing room chaos

 I was determined to get something done today. I took a pic before I got started. In this pic there are 5 projects at various levels of completeness. I worked on these blocks, cutting the snowballs off and squaring up the larger blocks. I then added strips to the snowball pieces. This is a quilt we did a guild. You get two quilts for the price of one. Fun to do but a lot of no thinking sewing, 36 blocks all the same.

Half way on my journey to complete this venture, my old Singer foot pedal started sizzling. Quickly unplugged it and let it cool down. These old machines I notice that the foot pedal gets warm especially if you are doing a lot of chain piecing. I took the pedal apart and cleaned out the cobwebs, oiled the machine and was back sewing in no time.

Thursday my friend Natalie and I took a short trip to a quilt store sale. The large paper bag is full of my purchases. I will share more on that another day. Stay tuned for that  and come back to see how many projects got done or if I got anywhere. Might be hard as the  final bonspiel of the season is tomorrow.
