I bought mine in 1977.
It’s still the one I use. 👏🥰

Nice! 👏🥰🤗💖

Kenmore Model 1947 Instructions Manual.

Anyone else still have the manual, from your first sewing machine? 👏🥰💚

FYI: The series is still available (free), if you’re inspired to play.

…Beginning to get the urge to add to the collection! 😁
I’ll put some thought into what colours to play with next. 🤔

Blue & yellow mini quilt hanging by little drawers of embroidery floss and beads.

I continue to get joy from seeing the series of Let’s Play mini quilts, I made last year.
Every month I hang a different one on my little hanger, to decorate this corner. 🥰💙💛

Left hand holding a 4-patch heart quilt block.

Here’s the second mini quilt block I made – This one was a fussy make & took me three tries!
It’s a miniaturized version of my 4-Patch Heart design, from 2006. 🥰👏

I love the details of the top! 👏🤩

Thanks - using repurposed pretty dishes makes me happy! 😊 🤗💖

Small container with pink & blue thread ends, in a bowl with pincushion, scissors & needlebook.

You can see I’ve been hand stitching with a variety of threads - all in pinks & blues. 🩷💙

I keep the small container, in my stitching bowl, as a temporary place to keep the thread ends together.

How do you keep your hand stitching tools together?

Blue & rose coloured two inch mini 4-patch block.

Here’s the first mini block I made this weekend.
This 4-Patch is 2 inches square. 👏🥰
I 🩷 4-patches!!

The second mini block is such a fussy one, I’m on my third try, getting it made! 🙄🤞🪡🧵

Thanks! 🤗💖

Tiny quilt block with tiny stitches and a spool of thread for size comparison.

Teeny, tiny stitches - when hand stitching a teeny, tiny quilt block. 👏🪡🧵🤩

Happy Stitching!

Nice finishes!! 👏👏🤩

Two pink & two blue fabrics. A dark & light of each.

Thanks for your help/opinions, yesterday! 🙏

Here’s the fabrics I decided to use…
I traded the light blue swirly one for the plaid.
That light pink is exactly the same pink, as the light colour, in the darker rose pink fabric, so they look great together.
😍👏

Thanks for letting me know! 🤗💖

Pink & blue fabrics - one each of florals and the others are swirly.

Pink & blue fabrics - one each of florals and the others are different plaids.

Pink & blue fabrics - one each of florals and plaids, that are the same.

I’ve pulled these fabrics, out of my stash, to play together. 🤔
I’m now wondering if I should change the lighter fabrics to plaids? 😁🥰

Small quilt block with flowers made with different colours of silk ribbons. The border matches, with the same colours wrapped around the edge.

The Silk Ribbon block has now been added to the quilt. 🪡🧵
Isn’t it pretty? 😍 👏🥰

The #Maritimes is going through a stretch of weather, that’s perfect for maple syrup 🍁 producers. 🤤👏
Daytime temps above freezing - teasing us that spring is on the way…falling back below freezing 🥶 at night, to remind us it’s still winter!

…so I’m posting this while I wait, as I knew #quilters & #stitchers & #embroidery artists would understand! 😂

#quilting #sewing #handstitching #quiltsky

Finally got to begin some enjoyable hand stitching time, but then quickly stabbed my thumb, with the needle 🪡 , and now I need to wait until it stops bleeding 🩸 * , before I can start stitching again. 🙄

*who knew there’s a drop of blood emoji! 😆

Good to know!
It always seemed so weird to be rooting for a serial killer. 😁

No worries - I used to watch with someone who’s no longer in my life… but always feel the need to finish shows I’ve started, so assumed I’d get back to it, but it’s been over a decade, so who knows?

Well if there’s sequels…than anything is possible 😂

Yes he would! 😁
Is that what happened to him - still need to finish that series.
🤗💖

😂
He’s running out of things to distract from the remaining 3 million epstein files. 🙄

Saw a post on ig today that said:
“Can we just give the epstein files to Dexter?” 😁
