All Comes to A Halt

 Sighhhh....  While I was quilting I  ran my finger, somehow, under the needle. Went right through my left index fingernail right through to the other side. I yelled and jerked my hand back and broke the needle.  It didn't break the bone. Just came out at an angle on the other side. Blood! 

After I cleaned up and doctored it, I left the sewing room for three days.  Thought I'd do so piecing. Well, the tension was shot to hell, so no sewing.  That was my Juki TL2010Q.  My Bernina Activa 130  also had a tension problem. So on I went to my Janome Harmony - my take to classes machine. Well, it runs fine but I don't have a FMQ foot for it, so that leaves me with piecing to do.

Here's as far as I got on the SAHRR:



The shop said it would two weeks until they are back. Guess I'll do a lot of piecing until then.

SAHRR Round 5 and 6

 Ready to show rounds 5 and 6. Actually, the prompt for 5 was make 4 of something. So I chose four patch, and actually since that made my quilt 35" square, I decide to not do round 6 as it was a number or a letter, and since I had done 4 of something for round 5 felt  that it would do for round 6.  




This baby quilt will be donated to our church's project for low income, first time mothers.  Now to sandwich, quilt, and bind it.

What are you up to?  Leave a message and I'll come visit and see your progress. I'm linking to Alycia's Finished or Not Friday  party. Go on by and see all the wonderful things quilters have made.
Blessings,



SAHRR Round 4

 Gosh, I can't get the photo to be as bright as it is. Don't know what's wrong. But here it is - that's a much brighter purple:


Measures 25 1/2" square now. I'm enjoying these little kitties and discovering how to use them. I made a sample square in a square and used that to get the heads of my kitties in the right place. Am wondering what the next prompt will be.

Leave me a comment and I'll be by your blog or Instagram to see what you're up to. Blessings,
