Update: The machine is sewing a beautiful stitch now! I called an expert sewing machine repairman and he came by my home and got the machine running again! I tore the machine down to where I was comfortable putting it back together but the machine still wouldn't turn but my guy did the tougher part and I'm so glad he came!

Many of you follow my "Ode to the Sewing Machine" posts. We've all seen the ads on craigslist, ebay and elsewhere. The clueless sellers give those of us who sew a belly laugh, or two! Here's installment #32…

Cardinals in Winter Trees
I took a day off to make a cute wall hanging for my foyer. It was a kit by Patch Abilities that went together easily. I use SteamASeam2 when I do applique which made it a breeze to apply the pieces to the fabric. It has a stick-on feature that sticks the applique where you want it before ironing in place.
This is the second Patch Abilities kit I've made. I have one more Spring time wall hanging to make, which I'll do sometime in February I would imagine. I buy my Patch Abilities kits from Merry's Stitchins, a quilt shop located in Jesup, Iowa. She has a huge selection of patterns!

Under my needle today
I've been longarming quite a few quilt tops this month, it's the Christmas rush to get quilts finished in time! Here is the one I had on my frame this morning. I stitched a feather design on this one, the fabric collection is from 3 Sisters by Moda. I finished it and now have another one I'm loading this afternoon. It's a great time to be a quilter!
