Ten tries, one photo. This is yesterdays creation. "Three Sentimental Squares".

It's been a wonderful Sunday. I spent the morning dressing Suki Doll. And she got posted okay.

Then I cleaned my room. Vacuumed up a ton of thread. Rearranged bags of scraps. Everything looks neat now. Hung up Andrea's Chanukah Mask picture and Suki Doll tracings. My ROOM is starting to take on the look of a studio! ;-) I like that sound. Stu D O. Hey, why not?

Then I needed sewing machine needles so I went to the store. OhMG-D they were having a sale. Needles and the whole notions wall was on sale for 40% off. I had to go get a basket. I got a new ironing board cover with a ruler on it and lines for quilters (circles/angles/etc.) cool cover. I got straight pins and safety pins. I got a ton of threads at 50% off (Sulky, made in Germany, Rayon...fine thread for the work I am doing now.) I got a magazine on Quilters ART. Oh that was at another store I am getting ahead of myself. Okay, at the bookstore I also got The Quilters Bible, filled to the brim with stitches for hand and machine quilting. Lots of ideas there too. Came home and read the sale thingy from the store to find that the batting I need for my Rose Quilt is on sale too. Usually $10 a yd, sale: $4.99 yd. I am going back tomorrow for that. I hope they still have enough. The lines in the fabric store were endless.

Got a very good sandwich at the grocery store (lemon chicken, with fresh basil, roasted red peppers, lettuce tomato, on a fancy roll, forget what she called it, but good crust and chewy in the middle. Also, got a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice. I love that.

Came home and made Suki Doll a cat. Maybe I can post it later. Happy Sunday to all.

No new photos today of MORE scrap art

Well Blogger is not allowing downloading/uploading/sideways loading photos today. I hope they fix this soon. I spent about two hours at the sewing machine this morning piecing pieces of scrap fabric in three squares on a long narrow piece. I got to practice my free motion sewing on them. I left it with batting and backing sticking out. Looks cool I think. I won't cut it. It's my ARTWORK today! (rules broken: the selvage is still on the fabric (NO! NO!); there are lines crossed over with sewing; dark bobbin thread shows up in some places on the top, oh shame.) It's fun being a sewing rebel! I took the 850 (sewing machine) to the store to give back to get my 830 model only to be told that she (store manager) decided to send it back to repairs. It was acting up again. Back home I went with the 850. Maybe they should just give it to me. ;-)
