The fun part.

It was such a joy to go into my sewing room this
morning and prepare the pieces of the butterfly
for the little doll quilt. Maybe later today I
will have time to applique it down, but today is my
garden day. I am excited to see what awaits at the
garden since I missed last week due to my bad cold.

Another doll quilt.

Our little friend Isabel turned three years old last week.
What a great opportunity for me to make another
doll quilt and use up more of my pink scraps.


I am piecing the top on my Bernina 730, I have had this machine
for 33 years. What a great machine. Bernina manufactured this model from 1963 until 1971.

Finally reaching the peddle!!

Sophie is learning to fill bobbins on the old Singer 220.


She filled every empty bobbin I had.

Her foot can finally reach the peddle.

Book/Tote Bag

I always see beautiful home decorating fabrics
but don't know what to do with them since
I am not a home deco kind of girl.
I saw this fabric and had to have it, decided I
would make ... who knows what!!
I only purchased 1/2 yard just in case I never used it.
I made this book bag and I love it!!
I washed and dried it to make sure this fabric
is good for something like this and
it turned out great.
