Ta-da finally finished.....

Naturally as soon as I got my new machine up and running I spent the whole entire icy day working on the first quilt top that I needed to finish.

It is very much imperfect...BUT it is finished and I LOVE it! I already have one that I have pieced and it needs to be quilted. That one is already about 100 times better than this one. It has to be it's a gift! So glad I splurged for this great new machine!

It's HERE!!!!!

Dear UPS Man,
Thank you for coming out in this HORRIBLE snow and ice to bring me something to play with on my second snow day at home!
Love,
Jill

So I posted Sunday that I was struggling over whether or not to buy a new machine that was more compatible with quilting. Well I decided to go for it and ordered a Janome Memory Craft 6500. Well I checked the sight this morning and it said the order was being processed. However, an hour ago there was a friendly UPS knock on my door and IT's HERE!

Wonky Scrappy Hearts

What to do with random fabric scraps?

I think you make hearts for Valentine's Day. Well you make wonky scrappy hearts!

I made enough of these wonky little lopsided scrappy hearts to hang from my dining room chandelier. It looks adorable shabby chic!

Hmmmmm.....what other projects can I work on in this crazy wintry weather?!
