That if you want a new foot pedal for your sewing machine be prepared to cough up some moolah to the tune of $135. Do you suppose they know they have you over the barrel and will charge what they want to because they can? Or do you think they really have figured out the cost of the foot pedal & passed along the true cost to me/us as a consumer? I am not blaming my local Pfaff dealer for the cost -I know they just did their usual mark-up before selling me the piece that I needed. And, I want to help keep my local dealer in business. It just seems steep. It's a foot pedal!
But, now that I have gotten that off my chest (thank you very much) and I am back to sewing full speed ahead, here's a glimpse of the project I am doing now. Can't show much as it is a gifty-gift for Christmas. From the book Frosted Memories: it does have snowmen in it, and pinwheels. I really like snowmen, and I really like pinwheels. Maybe it won't go find a new home! We'll see.
And: MORE QUILTING done.
The first THREE are more of Billie's.
These are more of her block of the month projects. Very large, too. And, no, I didn't duplicate the pics, there really are two of them! Both Steelers' black and gold.
(above left) Annette's beautiful batik
Louise's (above right) bright and cheery quilt
She makes up her own patterns for these, and pieces her backs and puts in family members' photos. I will have to get a pic of the back of the next one!
And finally, Helen's red and white, also one of the block of the month choices from the lqs. I really like love the setting stars in this one. I told Helen I will use this design layout at some point.
That's enough quilting for now, so moving on to rainbows:
Today while I was out doing my turkey-day grocery shopping and errands the sky was dark and cloudy and a little rain was sputtering (like my old foot pedal!). The sun looked like it wanted to break through and it did just a little. Just a little enough to have a rainbow.
beautiful than the pics show.
I should learn more
about filters.
The one on the left was just taken with my plain ol' camera. The one on the right was also taken with my plain ol' camera, but I put my sunglasses in front of the lens. (I told you I should learn more about filters!) I always think that my sun glasses make me see the world in a little more rosey light, so I thought they might help the rainbow, too. Can you tell the difference between the two?Rainbows make me smile.
Hope your day is a rainbow smilin' day.
looks like you have been busy. really like all the quilts.
