This was a quick table runner for my daughter. We finished redecorating her room and it ended up that she needed a table runner to protect a dresser top. She LOVES it.
Next, I made a Strata Star. It is also a table topper. I was just testing the pattern to see if I might want to make a bigger version for a larger quilt. I really love it and may do it on a larger scale at some point future.
Meanwhile, I also made "Regal" who is a wall hanging. A quick attempt at the stained glass look. This turned out well. My daughter wants to own this too.
So for now, all projects future are on hold awaiting a new machine to arrive. It's tax return season and I've been waiting for about six months to upgrade my sewing machine. I am currently sewing on a Pfaff 803, literally a dinosaur machine in which I have added three safety pins into the thread path for more accurate tension. It's not the best and that is putting it mildly. I've never had a new machine. "New" to me, yes, but brand new, no. So in a few days time, I will. I cannot wait. Therefore I have put off some things while I wait for it to come. What I've really done is put off the frustrations associated with my current machine. I'd like to be creating, and I might be having withdrawals, but I am waiting nonetheless. This has been a good time to straighten up my sewing studio and brainstorm with my husband on ways to make it more efficient.
So that's it for now.
