My New Toy


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.

  7. You want to come over and play? We could just chat and sew. You know kind of like a big girl play date. Only with needles and thread. I am just thrilled for you. Love it. Smiling all day....Renee

  8. Your new Singer looks like it should be in my grandmother's house. Of course the digital numbers kind of give it away. Cute.
