SLAVING OVER MY IRON AND LONGARM...POOR ME (SMILING)

This week I have been working on my Island Batik project for this months blog hop.

If you want the line up, just see the post below this one or go here:  That way you can sign up for the giveway.

Notice the Aurfil thread?  It matches but I decided to go with dark brown for the front....and I am worried I will not have enough.  It takes a lot of thread to do a king size quilt....hummm  should have thought of that.

This is my backing which is 108" fabric, got it from Marshalls but I had to extend it 10 inches on the top and sides.  Try ironing it....

Took me a evening to iron and get it on the longarm.

Looks like I am crooked here....ignore that.

I have been working on this mostly at night.  My mother has been taking a good portion of my days lately.

Next I want to show you the most fun thing I ordered.

Messy bobbing...usually there are threads everywhere!!!

                                            Not any more with these Tulips Bobbin Clamps

Do I sound like a commercial (smiling) trust me, there is nothing in it for me but happiness.

I love them.....

FEEDING MY NEWEST ADDICTION

It seems that you need to keep feeding your embroidery machine bobbins. So I decided to make up a bunch of these. You can buy bobbins already wound but I am cheap!! Plan to fill this bowl up....no one will go hungry in this house.



I have been keeping my embroidery machine humming. I have already honed in on the different sounds this baby makes, when it is out of bobbin or thread breaks...I will probably listen to this puppy in my sleep.


When I venture away from this machine I found that I am listening for it to stop. Maybe I need a baby monitor?
