sewing machines
-
So, my dad brought home a few sewing machines that he found while at work, as well as a serger. the only problem is non of them came with the manuals. any thoughts on how i can learn about these machines? ya i know just do a search but i have and i think im doing something wrong cause i cant find a thing.
This is what im currently using..
and these are what my dad brought me.

I've been sew busy
-
this weekend the kids were at there dads (and from
what they told me they had a great Easter YAY!) here are a few pics
there dad send me... so fun even though the weather was not the best.
it rained all weekend .
anyways, since i had some me time i played
with and learned a few new things in EQ7. check out a few of my designs.
some of the designs are using fabric collections from Connecting
Threads and other i just colored in. ok, so i have way to much fun
playing in EQ7. i just love that program now that i know what i can do
with it. the only problem i see now is that I'm gong to be designing and
not sewing or done anything else for that matter.
and lastly i make a swaddle blanket for a
friends baby shower and im just about finished with a quilt top. Im not
sure if i can give it away, might have to keep it i just love how fun
and bright it is.
what
do you think??? its my first ever non-quilt project ... i think i did
great still not the best but it can to used and ya that all that matters
right?
and here it is wrapped i think the baby its for will love it. well i hope anyways.
I just need to add the borders and I'm done, its make using the Jelly roll 1600 pattern.
its smaller then the ones on the blog i only used one Jelly Roll that
had 25 strips vs a 40 strip roll. and i didn't sew the strips on the
diagonal, i just love this look its so fun and man, its fast !!!! I'm
going to cut but some fat quarters that i have and make each one of my
kids one of these.
And now i must get back to doing homework YUCK !! but school i just about out for summer and I can't wait.

this quilt top was so fast and fun to make I'm going to use this pattern
again i know it. the squares are 5ins (charm packs sized) most
everything used for this quilt i use a charm pack with. just needed a
bit of yardage for the boarders. i bought the fabric and pattern from
Connecting Thread.
