Let's get Organized

I know I haven't been on here for a while.  I have been so busy with Flowers, Gardening, went to Quilt show,  Shop hops, etc.  And of course quilting.  I have been working on a large Pinapple Paper piece quilt that is almost finished.  Top is ready to quilt, finally!  Well, everytime I finish one project, I clean and organize before starting another.


My next project was that I had to make a cover for my Featherweight.  My husband got it for me for Christmas and I have been so busy using it and having fun, that I decided it needed attention too.


I made an appliqué for the front:


 I decided to put a pocket on the side, to keep my sissors with it.  


Also, I wanted it kinda stiff so it would cover it and not lean on it.


I even added a little handle for the top take it on and off my machine.



I love using it....makes me feel like I am playing with a toy.
Speaking of toys, he got me one for my birthday, (made in  a 1919)....


Isn't it adorable?  It even works.  (I know what I want to collect.)

After I got my cover done, I did some cleaning and organizing in my room.



I added small spools of thread to a jar,


Some buttons on other jars,


I even made a new ironing board cover:


Now I am ready to cut my next quilt out.  I have all the fabric and my pattern in a basket all ready to go.


My next quilt is going to be a black and white Log Cabin with bright stars appliqued in the center.


And here is my boss, KC.  She was just so exhausted when I got done. 
(Don't she look mad?  It's like I bothered her, taking her picture, lol)

I hope I did not bore you too much with my room.  I would live to see where YOU quilt!

Till next time....

HAPPY QUILTING EVERYONE!!!!

LIFE is short, break the RULES. FORGIVE quickly, KISS slowly, LOVE truly, LAUGH uncontrollably, and NEVER REGENT anything that made you smile. Your comments are one thing that makes me smile.
