It may seem like it, but my hands haven't been idle...

I'm a tad slow on the blogging.  One reason is my camera batteries died last week.  Although I love blogging and taking pictures, I'm not making a special trip anywhere for batteries.  It just had to wait.  Also I have been a bit preoccupied with my quilt project.  I am in the middle of  quilting, but thought I'd show my progress.  I am using the quilting foot on my sewing machine for the first time.  It has been a learning experience.  Luckily I've had some good advice from the ladies at the quilt shop. 

I promise I haven't been idle.  I hope everyone else has been able to stay busy and keep their minds off of this last few months of winter.  My goal is to be done before April 1st.

  4. I'm going to hope my sewing machine did not come with a quilting foot or I will feel very, very idle! Of course, I wouldn't know a quilting foot if it came up and bit me. I'm keeping busy this winter doing family history which means I've been a very lazy blogger. I don't even have a battery excuse!

    Christine in Alaska, no handmade quilts, lots of snow
