Its gadget Friday

I got so excited when I saw this gadget. I found it at an embroidery shop! It is a lighted seam ripper. I have had it a couple of weeks and unfortunately have used it reverse sewing many times ( yes I make mistakes ). I will call the shop and get the brand as a helpful someone in my house three the packaging away. Really looking forward to some great sewing tomorrow as my daughter is working and my hubby and son are going to a gun show. Yea me time! Will post pics of what I get accomplished.

My featherweight has a name!!

Hello
I have decided on a name for my featherweight...LIZA...
She sews like a dream!! I got my 1/4 in foot for her yesterday in the mail-talk about a great mail day. I sewed with her for a while last night. My family commented she was so quiet. It was so much fun it was hard to go to work today. I am attaching a picture of my first quilt block Liza and I sewed together!
Posting about a new gadget I bought tomorrow so stay tuned...

My new sewing machine

I am so excited!! Went to Jefferson tx for the weekend to relax with my hubby. Went to a lot of antique stores. Walked out of one with my first singer 221 featherweight machine. I can't wait to sew with it. It runs well needs a touch of cleaning and oiling.

I am back to quilting!

Hi all
sorry I have not been on here in about six weeks. Life got in the way of my quilting. After 8 weeks off work for surgery I had to go back to my job!
Good news is I am somewhat caught up with work and spent a lot of time sewing this weekend. I only have 2 more applique blocks to finish all the blocks for this civil war quilt my daughter picked out in 2004~! Talk about a UFO!!
I will probably put the top together at retreat in October. Will post a picutre when it is finished. I was pretty impressed to get all these blocks sewn over about 3 days!
