Sewing Classes
Well, I'm at lunch break at work now.......thinking about a sewing class tomorrow night. It's a basic class and part 1 is tomorrow night, part 2 is next Tuesday night.
If.....if I can pick up my sewing machine, then I am planning to go.
Supposedly with this basic class, I will make an apron!
I'm still contemplating a sewing machine. A little snag in the fix is Ebay. I have sold some stuff on Ebay and can't decide quite yet about which one. There seemed to be a mix up with Paypal and Ebay due to an email address change and for that little reason, I'm becoming good friends with tech support at Ebay! 1 hour conversation last night with someone about it. But, when all that is straightened out and then buyers can pay me, then I will have exactly enough for a basic computerized machine.
I am clearing out a work area in the basement and hope to make it my "studio" to give me more elbow room when stitching, put all my stitching supplies in one place (besides the kitchen counters) and just a little hide-away and escape after a busy day at work.
There are two birthdays in the family this week. Tomorrow my hubbie will be....hmmmm.....better not say but going on 30. LOL LOL
Next week, Meghan will be 21.
So, best to get back to work now...........

Peddling Through the Weekend
I measured a frame that would be suitable for my On the Shore piece by The Sampler Girl. I found this after rummaging through a couple of seconds stores. Measured right. I will dismantle the existing aida fabric 80's piece and use it to frame my piece.
The quilt shop which is conveniently located right by the shop where I get my haircut was beckoning for me to drop in. I got a few fat quarters.
The Sampler Girl's companion booklet 4 came last week in the mail and I have pictured the fabric she has to go with one of the pieces. This is my lavender sack that I put in the bag with my floss on the current project. When I unzip it to stitch, my floss smells heavenly! Really.......lavender is supposed to be relaxing........therefore this weekend I had to really inhale it.
Here is a pic of my next project that is in the Companion Booklet 4. The weather right now is fitting.
Therefore.....I have to put some fabric around the piece before framing.
Here is the fabric I chose from my stash~~~~~
All this, of course, was rewarded by a visit to Pizza Hut today. The best pizza in the world........close to Chicago pizza.

Overall, here is my stitching progress on the Sampler Girl piece, On Any Shore With You. I
have never mismeasured on the fabric before like this!
Look at how close to the end.......living on the edge here.........
