sewing and embroidering

 It has been a very quiet end and beginning of 2011.  My baby sister came to visit with her husband and four sons on my birthday, the day after Christmas.  We had a very good visit even though it was not long enough.

I have enjoyed learning how to do embroidery.  I finally have my Futura 250 up and running and I love it.  I have even done FSL.  Now I need to learn how to do embroidery on knit fabrics.  I imagine that it is not hard but I still have that fear of doing new things.

An awesome week

This week I was finally able to get the Futura 250 Embroidery machine to do exactly what I wanted it to do.  I made 3 sets of hanging kitchen towels for the church's Fall festival.  It took me forever to get them done but they are worth it.  I will be posting pictures later this week of the towels.  And now I wait for the results of the CT scan of my neck.  While moving I lifted more than my 5 pound limit and now I await the results.  More later...

I am still learning

I am still learning how this new computer works and I am not sure I will ever really like it but,  seeing as I have no choice in the matter I WILL learn all of its quirks.  Boy does that sound determined or what.  I started hand quilting my quilt last night.  This is going to take many a night watching tv with my DH.  At least we will be watching the same thing.
Speaking of which Syracuse lost last night in march madness.  I am a fan,  mostly because they are from NY.  Well maybe next year....
I also started a new baby quilt yesterday,  or I should say my embroidery machine started 8 squares for the new baby quilt yesterday. And, I also did the label.  It is going to be very pretty and as the baby is a girl that is alright.
Well I better get going and start the afternoon.
