Darn!

My machine has finally quit on me. It has been playing up for a while, missing stitches and just playing up. But the other day it finally said "Enough is enough"!! So it is off to the repair shop. Now the guy there is good. BUT he is a little slow, and not so good at giving accurate times for picking back up. Be ready in a week... Last time it was three weeks :( I tried to explain that I have Ryan's dance coming up and I needed to do sewing for that and he sort of laughed and oh you will be itching to sew aye. Yes, I will, I have too! So a tiny bit stressed.

The upside, I have been cutting loads and loads of my quilt top. Almost cut up all the months now. So I am almost up to date. Yay for the broken machine I guess.

I brought this a little while back and last night I have come up with my quilt design. Hopefully if my maths is all correct it will be big enough for our Queen size bed, Yes I will finally have my own quilt!!!! I am going to do a disappearing 9 square design as my blocks and then big white squares in between. So hopefully not lose the cool designs, but still be quite patchwork in design. I have 12 FQ, so they will be mixed up and bright and colourful and my husband has even said he doesn't mind the floral prints. To be fair I don't really think he would mind what he slept under as long as it is warm. I know I have a few on the go now, but to be fair the store also ran out of the cuddle i need for Ryan's quilt. Talk about a bad run!! So I have to wait for the next order of that to come it so I can finish that.

Right off to cut 5.5 inch squares.
