One day last week I had gone to JoAnn's. In the JoAnn's near me there is a sewing machine shop inside. I had asked the lady there about the new Singer 160 and she thought they had all been sold. She made a call and the person on the other end said that they had ordered some. So she offered to put my name on a list so I agreed but never thought she would call. On Saturday she called so we ran to JoAnn's I could not wait to get there. I thought I was just going to look at it. Well I could not resist. It is just to cute.
I bought this duck to recover a rocking chair. But I decided to make this yarn bag out of a little piece of it. This is the first thing I made with my new beauty.
And on the inside I just had to have polka dots.
Today I sewed the rick rack on my Bissful day quilt top.
This is how it looks finished. I am thinking the back should be red with white polka dots.
Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend.
TTFN
