I didn’t get much done sewing wise yesterday. I did start cutting some tiny squares for the little mystery QAL hosted by Lori at Humble Quilts.

I am behind as she has posted the second set of instructions and I haven’t finished the first step! Maybe today after work.

Daughter #3’s BF was over last night and wanted to see how the long arm worked. So I loaded up some fabric so they could have a go and then spent some time playing as well.

It was a good chance to play with some of the threads I got from Superior Threads’ Try Me specials. I also played with a red/white/blue variegated thread from FIL-Tec called Affinity. That was great to work with but what color fabric do you use it on? Not a fan of how the areas where the thread matches the fabric sort of “drops out.”

Linking up with Kelly for Needle and Thread Thursday and Gemma for IQuilt.

    What fun! I used variegated thread on T#1’s quilt, and I have to say that I’m not a fan. Maybe it was the thread I used … it seemed to go from white to dark blue so quickly that it was rather jarring.

    It looks like a lot of fun playing with the long arm! Love seeing what you can do!
