Today was my son's birthday. He got a reading lamp for his bed and his AWESOME quilt :)
 |
| See how cute he is all wrapped up in it. The weather even cooperated and was cold enough to need a blankie! |
For my sewing antics, I started on the messenger bag for one of my daughters. She wants a messenger bag with a dresden plate on the front of the flap. I took pictures of what I did :)
 |
| This is the AWESOME ruler that I use. |
 |
| Here are the blades all cut and wanting to be sewn... |
 |
| Them in a pile ;D |
 |
| chain sewing the tops together |
 |
| look, they make a pretty wheel. |
 |
| Cool wheel, eh? |
 |
| These are the tweezers that I use to get the blades turned and nice and pointy. |
 |
| After turning and pressing. |
 |
| Laying around wanting to be joined in a neat ring! |
 |
| Sewing them up :) |
 |
| These are quiltsmart circles. I LOVE them! Easy peasy! |
 |
| After all of my blades are sewn together, I coax all of the threads toward the center then I lay a circle of wonder under on the back and press. ...but not the hole.... I avoid pressing the center until the center circle is on the front.... |
 |
| Now I press my center circle, then press the center back... Is that as clear as mud? |
 |
| Dessert time! This is a rainbow chip cake with split layers that are filled with Marionberries. The frosting is chocolate cream cheese frosting. My 6 year old wanted the peeps :) My 17 year old decorated it :) |
 |
| Just FYI, these are my first flying geese EVER! I love them. they are SO cute!!! I also cut out the top for the February $29 quilt. I am going to sew that bad boy tomorrow! |
Ford is adorable! It looks like he had a great birthday! It's a great thing to know that our kids love the quilts we make them!
ReplyDeleteLove your new fabric! So fun!
I posted this on Saturday's blog entry, but I deleted it and am re-posting it here...
I have good news! My machine is all better! I took it in to Dave's Bernina in Provo and they got it all serviced in about an hour and a half and it's good to go! It had just gotten rusty down inside and so they polished it and spruced it up and we're good! I'm so happy. I had thought I might be without my machine for a week or something and I was feeling pretty sad about that.
This machine is one that I inherited after my mother passed away two years ago. I don't know when the last time was that it got serviced, but it is a really good machine and I'm so glad I have it!
I am so happy your machine is healed :) A good machine is the BEST! ,,yes, Ford is adorable. He is a really sweet boy!
