Up Dates on projects and Web Store

Hi Everyone..

Have you noticed; I have not been commenting on the weather so much lately..

I put a weather link next to my post so everyone can check their own weather. It has warmed up here and my body appreciates all it can get in this Cold State of Wisconsin.

Just click (Edit) and put your zip code in.

How is your new year going so far?? Mine seems pretty normal but I do not want to say too much, things might change. My job is OK' could be better. I got my little raise but I could use more hrs. But I dare not complain, some people have nothing.

I want to say my heart goes out to all those in Haiti..

And I say a prayer everyday for them and contribute what I can. Very sad.. but we have to keep on going and work on our own lives.

On to a happy subject.. QUILTING' How is it going with everyone out there??

It is going slow with me, both my machines have gave out on me. I can sew regular stitch's but I constantly have to stop and fix the tension. I have been window shopping for a machine, new or old. I need something heavy duty and extra stitching. I want to do more embroidery if possible. I found a couple of good deals on line, one with an (all sewing machine) co. they have so many machines to choose from it gives them the advantage of reasonable pricing.

About the project of back packs and hand bags, it will have to go on hold until I get a better machine. Now I want to sew and I have to wait.

I want to tell everyone about all the nice new BOOKS I put up on the WEB store.

I spent more time reading them, so I can pick some projects out for my self.

A NEW YEAR IS HERE!!!

Hi Everyone!!!!

Can you believe yesterday when we went to sleep it was a

different year...Wake up and we are in another year!!!

Do I sound senil or what.. well anyway, I hope everyone

will have a healthy and a more happy new 2010.

I have been busy at the computer on the web site, I brought in more

books and patterns. So check them out at the store.

I am on a new project, I have made Backpacks and Bags from old jeans and other fabrics.

So I will make more styles and maybe post a few when I am done. They will sell for about $25.00 to 30.00. You can give me your input on them or not.. on my next I will post a few pictures. I make them from designer jeans, I use the pockets and other logo's and put them on the back packs and bag's. I even use children , jean skirts and bib coveralls. I can be very creative when it comes to cutting up things and putting them back together a different way.

Like I said on previous blogs, I have brought in some nice knitting books, a new one is for making blocks and sewing together and making a quilt...

I also have 2 new patterns I know you big quilt challengers out there would love to tackle.

This is a shorter then usual blog...so see you at the store.
