Well I have good news ... and bad news ~ I managed to get the back of the Amish quilt finished last Sunday ... and loaded on the HQ, just like I had hoped. Then suddenly the thread started snapping .... and snapping .... did I say snapping? It took me about 3 hours to get a small 3' X 18" strip quilted. Called Gayla for some words of wisdom Monday evening she came out after work to see what was wrong ... seems at some point I BOKE MY SCREW! (Needle set screw that is) I have evidently tightened it too much so have been (im)patiently waiting for the arrival of a new one .... and HOPING that a new screw is all she needs. So till I get her up and running again I am "dead in the water" ~ but finding other things to keep me somewhat out of trouble.
I have made my first SOCK MONKEY, which I can hear Mom laughing about. It is very small ..... has mismatched ears .... and the tail is fatter than the legs .... OOPS!! But hey I tried .... and with the directions that came with this... well lets just say it could have turned out a lot worse! I figure that if I make a couple more of them ~ maybe the one for Violet's Birthday might even look like a sock monkey.
Today I went to a card making class... it really is addicting.... I DON'T NEED TO BE ADDICTED TO THIS TOO!!!! But so fun ~ Class is once a month at my supervisor & her sister's place $10.00 for 10 cards .... takes about 3 hours to get them done ~ really FUN!
Well I am off to watch a movie with hubby ~ you all have a great weekend!!
