Up and Running Again

The Moxie is up and running again. I'm using the new off market bobbin I ordered from Amazon. So far so good...except...it doesn't like pre-wound bobbins. I love using pre-wound bobbins, so this may be a problem.

I finished two tops that were donated to Q4K.


This pink one took forever.  All ruler work, but kind of a boring design.


Quick finish. Simple meander. Whoever made the tops did a nice job, both are cute patterns.

I added a border and quilted one of my small quilts. 


When I went to mark it as done in my project log I noticed a note that I didn't want a border and the binding was already made.... oops. Oh well I like it with a border too.

My dining room staging area is full again. I'd picked a new UFO to work on, decided to go in a different direction, hated it, tried something else, hated it, third times the charm right...right...but...I decided to use a different background fabric. What to do with the old, already cut background fabric? Start another quilt of course. Both are sitting on the dining room table waiting their turn.

While I was suffering through the above, I pulled another UFO (I have lots) and started working on it. I'll show the progress on it in my next post.

I also made the modifications to my coat.


Not the best picture. The coat is still a little big, and I left the sleeves a little long intentionally. Overall I really like it. Of course, now that it's done the temps have been in the high 70s. I think coat weather is over.

I'm back...love the quilting on the 9 patch...cannot imagine it without a border now that I see it with one. LOL I just simply love your coat. I wish I was a size where I could make a few things for myself again. I am pear shaped now and that is more than I want to attempt. But I did used to make a few things many many moons ago.
