LOL!!!

Okay, why did NO ONE stop me??? Here I am posting about the Friday Night Sew-in, about it coming up, about what I might sew and now posting about what I AM sewing and DOIH...the Friday Night Sew-in is NEXT Friday!!! LOL!!!

Oh brother. I don't think I have ever been a week early for something before. I tend to work best under pressure with the clock ticking. I actually caught this when reading Angela at SOSCRAPPY's blog post. Come to find out she and Amy of Amy's Passions both had the night wrong. Well at least I'm in good company and the three of us are sewing away.

Now I'll have to come up with another project for NEXT Friday night. The 18th. The REAL Friday Night Sew-in.

Back to the sewing machine for me!

Happiness in the mail

It finally showed up today (I was beginning to think it was lost).I've been admiring quilts using this pattern on other blogs for some time and I decided to get a pattern for myself. Just something else to add to my TO DO list.

I am thinking I want to make it from a Patisserie layer cake. Someday.

I've been sewing today but had some tension problems. NOT the kind of tension I usually feel in my jaw and shoulders when quilting. It was sewing machine tension! I stippled for miles on a sample piece until I finally got everything to look great. Moved to my real piece and sewed for quite a bit and then decided I did NOT like it. Not even a little. Sat and unpicked lots of thread. Tried it again. Unpicked again. Finally I was able to equalize the threads and I was happy with the stitch. Oh what a lot of wasted time that was.
Still plugging away at my projects.

Praise - For a beautiful first day of fall that God graced us with! Crisp, cool morning, blue skies and sunshine all day with temperatures never getting much over 70.

Prayers - For a young wife at our church that just found out she is pregnant. That she would get over the terrible morning sickness she has been experiencing. Prayers for a healthy pregnancy from here on.
