And the Winner Is...

Karen of Merry Little Quilter. I had my husband help me pick the winner.

Karen send me an email when you get a chance with your snail mail address.

I think fall is in the air. Warm during the day and cool in the evening. The trees are starting to change colors. Seems early this year for some reason. I know we are at the end of September, but there are just way too many leaves on the ground already.

Have a great day!!!

Good Intentions & Giveaway

My intentions today were good, but the sewing mojo just wasn't with me for some reason. I loaded a top on the frame today. I'm using a feather panto which is really cool, but takes a lot of thread. The bobbin ran out after the first pass. That's when the troubles began. I changed the bobbin out and now I see skipped stitches.

I thought maybe I needed to change the needle because I could see the batting pulling through to the back, so I put a new needle in. After an hour of messing around, I've decided to call it a night. Frustrating! Frustrating! Frustrating!

I did get the jacket that I'm bound and determined to finish taken apart yesterday. I pulled out the strips that had the YUCKY applique on them. I'm going to use the embroidery machine to put something in that place instead.

I think I'm going to have a little give away. This weekend I wanted to do some machine embroidery that wasn't bag related. I remembered that I have some fun redwork patterns, so I made some snowmen. Leave me a comment and I will pull the lucky winner of the blocks on Wednesday (24th). Since my mind is mush today, I can't remember how many blocks I counted 12 I think.

Have a great week!!
