    Your works in progress are a lot more interesting than mine at the moment. (I'm working on a test passage... Hence the procrastination of blog reading.)

    Stay warm.

    I'm so jealous. I'm painting my basement this week....office, family room, closets, hallway, and ceiling. So rather be sewing!

  26. It's fun to actually SEE your work and talk to you each week.
    I took my machine to the store to check on the settings and the noise related to free motion quilting. I have to go back when the quilt person is there.
    I'm enjoying your class immensely!!

  33. hi
    wanted to ask a quick question about your free motion quilting. i've read that you use the thread from connecting threads. do you use this for piecing and/or fmq? also, what do you use in the bobbin? love to read your blog and see all your creative uses for scraps.

  34. No, not bad at all and definitely a ton more than I got done.

  35. You can never have too many pincushions. Or quilts.
