Day 228 - Odds and Ends

I bought a bag of tiny flowers a week or two ago at the thrift store for 1.80 and tonight I figured out where and how I would store them as the bag is not a good way to acess or store.
 Here they are:

Cut a few strips and 5" squares...I am tiring of this fabric...

And lastly, I redid the ribbon on the purse I made monday night

and covered the stitching that was the model number of

the Bernina that I sewed on with 3 of my many yo-yo's

 (and was able to find the perfect color combinations).

Day 227 - Jelly Roll Quilt

I completed sewing all of the rows on the jelly roll quilt.  I have pressed it and will store with the strip quilt top, 2 inch square quilt top and the cat quilt top (not sewn this year).  I hope to be able to put all of these together after December.  Might put some borders on some of them too.

Folded  up and waiting for final assembly.

Day 226 - Taking a class...

Something new tonight.
 I took a class at Fat Quarter Quilting to use a new Bernina 380. 

Class ran from 6:00-9:30.

 We used lots of different stitches

 and about 7 different presser feet, plus made button holes

 and dropped the feed dogs. 

 There is even a "cruise control" on these machines!!

Our instructor was very informative about all of the machines and answered so many questions.

One of the other women in the class owned 4 sewing machines! 

 The other one had purchased  a Bernina a year ago

 and was wanting to trade up to one like we were using tonight.

I shared that I sew on my 250.00 Sears Kenmore

that is 33 years old!

Here is my almost finished purse.

And the final project completed.

It was a fun and informative evening!

Day 225 - Camping and home

Spent the morning and early afternoon enjoying
                            the quiet of the emptying campground.

Worked on the next birdhouse for church with some very
interesting papers given to me by my dear friend Carol.

Day 224 - Camping/Family Reunion

Went to a family reunion today in Wisconsin.

Made these on the drive.

Day 223 - Camping Weekend....

Left after work on Friday for Wild River State Park.
 It is about and hour and a half drive north for us.

This is our little outdoor kitchen in the back of our little T@B trailer.

Here is my Happy Camper Michael.

I worked on yo-yo's in the car.

Day 222 - Jelly roll quilt

Sewed 4 more strips onto the quilt.  Only one left to go. 

Haven't pressed it yet and this is not a very good photo...

It is pretty wild looking!

If you really look close you can see the pattern.
