I come from a long line of sign writers and am happiest with a brush and some paint! Add
paint to fabric and I get really excited!!

Rainy day funtimes!

Practice, practice! There are definitely benefits to taking the time to practice and every piece offers more areas to learn. Today was a rainy day - and although I know there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing - I took the opportunity to stay indoors with the Olympics playing in the background on the TV and my F55 humming!

I know there are lots of errors on this piece - or perhaps areas to improve upon - but it is amazing how much more comfortable you get with the process from the beginning to the end of each piece!



Tomorrow I am taking the plunge and loading a single bed quilt!! Woot! Woot! Wish me luck!

I am linking to The Needle and Thread Network. There are lots of things happening with creative Canadians - check it out!

    Thanks so much! It is a lot of fun and after a few weeks of practice, I can feel the difference already as I “bond" with the machine. Definitely a marriage in the making!

    Thanks! I have been known to use that comment as a mantra during snow and rain when I really wanted to be curled up in warm jammies with a good book....haha
