Quilting Away

I am super pleased with myself- don't worry - no sense of false modesty here!  My son pulled some "interesting" pieces/parts off of my sewing machine over the weekend, and I somehow managed to put it all back together by my lonesome.  It took some finagling, but she's up and running again.  Don't ask me how I did it, because I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to replicate it again if I tried.

This week has been rather productive even with the machine hiccup.  I started a baby quilt for my cousin.  The Sock Monkeys still make me smile.  (Full post here) and it's now layered, pinned and all ready to be quilted.
 I also finished quilting my Skill Builder Quilt #2.  I'm in love with it - I'm not going to lie.  I practiced the Loopy Lines for the Free Motion Quilting project (full post here), and then finished up the rest of the blocks.

  5. I have resorted to covering my machine, unplugging it, unplugging the foot, and putting the needle down when I am done sewing. Otherwise I am bound to hear the warning beeps of my machine when one of my guys climbs on it and trys to sew. Great job on you quilt and you FMQ!
