This month has been "sew/sew"

Well I have to admit I have been a little distracted this month. I got this puppy for Christmas and I have a million little projects that I can't wait to do.

I love this machine! I wanted to get something that was easy to learn on, but one that I could also grow into. This was the ticket! It is an electric machine and all the stitches are adjusted with the push of a button. There are so many stitches to choose from so my imagination is just running wild. I love that I don't have to fiddle with knobs because it has auto tension and it has a self threader so it is a breeze to thread! Needless to say, I have been sewing up a storm.

My latest project is for one of my best friends who is expecting a baby boy this spring. I am so very excited for her and can't wait to see that little guy! She has some very cool prints of children with rockets that she wants to decorate the nursery with and I found a fabric with really cute rockets on it, so I just couldn't help myself! I still have to put the back on, but I am so excited about how well it turned out. It is my first patchwork quilt ever!





















I want to thank my lovely friend Sarah for "modeling" the blanket for me. Since you didn't get a good look at her face, I have included a picture so you can all see how cute she is!
