The Upside of Machine Repair

 

19th century trade card

Greetings!

My poor Pfaff machine is still in the repair shop.  I was going to make the best of it and spring clean the sewing room but I then got sick. Lucky got sick too with another ear infection...both ears this time.  We slept a lot together.  He is much better than I am but is being patient as I recover.  I still walk him through the day (sick or not, must be done) and it's good for my lungs to get the exercise and move around.

Before all that happened, I was enjoying cleaning out the sewing room and going through every little thing.  That's why I love reorganizing and cleaning.  


And yes, I did get sidetracked and spent one afternoon cutting all the scraps from the container destined to be 2.5 inch squares.  I don't even feel bad about being diverted.  I figure it is all part of the process and now I have an empty large container and a box of 2.5 inch blocks ready to go!

I also like finding stuff I had forgotten about.  I found this fabric
 and realized it would be perfect for the scrap quilt tutorial I recently viewed that used yardage and 2.5 inch squares (here).  It will be a donation quilt.

So more on organizing tomorrow but I need a nap now.  Have a safe and happy day!

  1. I looked at the video and like that block as well. I think I would like them set on point with setting triangles the same as the center squares. Amazing how straightening up leads to more mess. But it keeps me/us off the streets. Reading would be such a great hobby. Close the book, put it on the table, done.
