I spent Monday visiting my sister. After tending to some financial business we went to the Salvation Army. I did NOT buy this sewing machine--$360 was far over-priced! I got two books and my sister got a book and a small table.
Monday evening the Magpies met by Zoom. (Washington state, Missouri, Texas (2), Illinois (2), Virginia, British Columbia (2), and Western Australia (where it was 10 a.m.)) "We need to do this again soon," everyone agreed. And we will.

In the studio: 14 placemats finished with #15 under the needle. Five to go for this month's goal.
The orphans/parts department boxes are shallow (easier to find things) but not getting much emptier.

Seeing the price of $360 for that machine makes me wonder how much our #2 son and DIL spent on the one they bought for me a number of years ago. I still haven't mustered my courage to try to put a new belt on it and actually use it. For now it serves as a plant stand in our living room.
ReplyDeleteYou sure have made great progress towards your goal! Way to get the new year off to a fast start. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

shallower??? dream on...lol....it is revolting how long it takes to use up those orphans and scraps...
ReplyDeleteReading your headline and seeing the photo of the sewing machine made me think you had bought it. Glad to see #15 was a placement not a another machine.

It looks like there is room in the boxes for more new orphan blocks. I doubt mine will ever be empty and right now the batik one is overflowing.
