Checking In

Hello! Checking in for Bonnie Hunter's 1 hour of needle and thread challenge for National Sewing month, which ended yesterday.

My last two posts tell it all. No hand stitching going on, but lots of sewing related stuff--completed piecing a king sized quilt (that I cannot show because it is a surprise for my daughter and son-in-law), cutting fabric strips and scraps with my new Accuquilt GO cutter, sorting and folding fabric stash, and this weekend I fixed whatever was wrong with my 1956 Singer 99K, took it apart, cleaned, oiled, and lubed so it's running like a champ, and cleaned and oiled my vintage Bernette 330. So now my entire "stable" of machines is in top running shape.

Apologies for boring post, but I'm on the run today. Can't wait to see what everyone else has to post today.

    1. Me, too! I have the phone numbers of a couple shops I was going to call to see if they have longarms for rent and lessons to take, too. Hope yours goes well. I'm just not sure I could do this king size on one of my home machines, though I am thinking about it...
