Long Arm, Garden, Sewing
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009I’ve just received word my new-to-me refurbished long arm is being delivered TONIGHT!!! Yippee!! I’m hoping this new machine will earn a very nice name like “Sweetheart” or “Sweet Pea” because she runs so well and behaves so nicely. We shall see
I’ve been busy but most of it isn’t sewing related but that’s not necessarily a bad thing because I’ve got lettuce, peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, butternut and acorn squash in the garden.
Tomatoes is the trees (what better way to reuse kitty litter buckets than to grown upside down tomato plants, I ask you?).
Sunflowers and zinnias in the flower beds.
All of which received a layer of mulch this weekend.
In between I completed 30 or so 4 patches from my 2 1/2 inch squares and sewed and pinned a whole bunch more.
I cut squares for half square triangles for one of the Dino quilt borders.
And cut out the pieces for the Liberty wall hanging project (from the McCalls Quick Quilts May 2005 magazine) using Cherrywood fabrics. This should go together quickly.
