KatyQuilts

Look at that! I’m sewing curves!

Here is a look at the back of my first try. I can live with this.

I think these are going to be really fun to play with on the design wall.

But that will have to wait. I left this project in Arizona. 😕 Probably for the best since an RV doesn’t lend itself to a design wall, and this project will need one.

Have a great day!

I haven’t used this tAccuQuilt die since I made this quilt.

So I grabbed this stack of batik squares and pulled a few out.

There is a good variety here. I have no idea where I got them.

So easy to cut and 10” squares fit perfectly on the die board.

See those little points in the middle of each piece? It makes matching these curves a breeze. I don’t use any pins.

I am saving these little strings so there ends up being very little waste.

Stay tuned!

I needed a break from the craziness so I broke out this little kit I made up before leaving AZ.

This quick little project fit the bill.

You can see where I’m headed here.

I’m thinking about hand quilting this.

Have a great day!

Finally! I started hand quilting this ages ago and I’m finally binding it!

Remember when I prepped this binding? It was for this quilt.

We shall see how much binding time I get in today.

Have a good one!

We found this hot sauce in Northern AZ. It most certainly did not come from MY kitchen!

We found Pikachu in AZ and he came home to Michigan for E2.

We took photos of him along the way and sent them to our boys.

This sign from Petrified Forest made me laugh!

I should have bought this sticker!

And this just made me laugh. 🤣

Have a great day!

….these little tool boxes? I got mine from Sam’s Club Online. You can also get one from Lowe’s that is branded, Kobalt. They seem to be quite the craze in the quilting/crafting world right now.

I initially bought the Kobalt version, but I took it back. this one is slightly bigger and has the handle on top. It also came with a few matching tools. I think it will be perfect for basic sewing supplies in the RV.

Both versions are just under $20. They have a very high cuteness factor!

Have a great day!

As part of our downsizing, I’ve decided to part with this very special sewing machine/table set.

The machine is a Singer model 128 from the 1940s. It is a beautiful 3/4 size machine with its bentwood case. The decals on this machine are not often seen. The machine has been rewired and is ready to sew.

What makes this really special though, is the rarely found library table. It’s the only table I’m aware of that will accommodate a machine in a bentwood case.

The platform has a mechanism to raise it up for a completely flat table surface.

This is located in Saginaw, Michigan. I will not ship, but I will drive up to 75 miles to meet someone. Price is $250. Email with questions at sew4given@aol.com

Thanks for looking!

My very long strip started the day this way…

…..and ended up like this.

It measures about 64 by 72 inches. I’ll square it all up after quilting. Which will have to wait until we get back to Arizona.

At this point, I can’t decide if I even like it or not. But at least that bin is a little emptier.

Have a great day!
