I cleaned the studio first thing yesterday,
put away, sorted and tossed until it was orderly again.
I picked up the embroidered piece so begin the pillow;
I start with the zipper--and here was the first stitches!
(bobbin side)
Last week I would have cried and gone back to my recliner--
I know I am feeling better because I laughed, trimmed off the thread mess
and stitched that zipper right in place-no stress!
And soon I had a new pair of pillows on the couch!
Next I tackled the apple core quilt,
finishing the three rows and even beginning to stitch the rows together!
It requires a lot of pinning which drives me crazy
but it is the only way to hope to nail all of the curves and intersections!
I wasn't the best get back to stitching quilts project but it was on the design wall!
I only have seven more rows to go! lol
I love those pillows!!! I had the same bird's nest issue when I started to sew the sashing on my hexies this week. I think among other things I need to change the needle. My poor machines are so neglected at the moment. Having The Mister under my feet 24/7 really puts a kink in my crafting time.
ReplyDeleteI hate when bobbins behave like that! The pillows are really cute.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're making fantastic progress with your health!
ReplyDeleteMy studio could use another good tidy.. it gets so messy so fast!
I use LOTS of pins on some projects, too. They save time in the end. Thrilled that your feeling better every day.
ReplyDeleteOooh! Those pillows turned out wonderfully. I was sewing on a dress yesterday and my bobbin did the same thing. I have no idea why. Maybe my machine is getting tired, it's almost 42 years old! I cleaned it up, trimmed the threads and it was fine after that.

You are really speeding toward a complete recovery. Love the pillows. So cheerful. The apple core quilt is going to be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou are moving right along with the apple core! I love it
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is coming along nicely. I like the pattern and the blues.
