I had an emergency thread run last night.  Was in the middle of sewing and ran out of the right color red thread.  So off to JoAnn's I went.  I had a 50% coupon and I had been wanting to make something with hexagons and had seen these really neat re-usable hexagon and thought I would have to order them online.  Low and behold I found them in our local store.  I have so many different projects going, but I think I will add another!

I have actually been able to work on the machine quilting a bit more and I am so excited to get the wedding quilting done and send it off before cold weather settles in.  It really hurts my neck and back to hunch over and quilt it though.  I am using my normal sewing machine and doing free motion quilting.  I last about 1 hour.  I have been itching to start something new.  I have so many sewing projects in my head.  I have had the Memories quilt pattern laying here for a while and decided to pull out some material and try it out.  Each block has 74 pieces.  After working on the quilt last night I cut out 3 pieces and put them together to see what what it looked like.  71 more pieces and I will see the finished block!  I only want to make 3 or 4 of these quilts!  Have I lost my mind?  Usually!

It has been a bit since I updated what has been happening with sewing here...not too much.  I am machine quilting the wedding quilt, it is taking awhile because life has went haywire.  The children, school, and their extra curricular activities have come on us with a flurry.  My daughter and I did do a display for ASG at one of the local library branches to celebrate National Sewing Month.  I tried to take pictures, but the reflection in glass of the display case made them impossible to see.  I hope that as we settle into a routine I can get some sewing time back in my schedule!
