No sewing this week

My machine has broken down ....
There's still so much I want to do, but alas ...

This is a great opportunity to really dig into the Hexalong or other hand piecing work (like knitting?).
If you'd like to join in, please do!

Somewhere along these lines ...

Unfortunately it also means the quilt I'm working on, still isn't finished: I did more unpicking that I liked.
And If I'm lucky the repairman has just left for a 3-week holiday.
Well, we'll see.

What made me very glad last week was receiving my new purse & coin/card holder! And my phone fits easily in too!

Great buy from Octopurse: a Belgian lady making purses, very nice ones, too!
I also bought 2 small ones for my nieces in Canada. Technically they're not my nieces, but I call them that just to simplify.

I'm linking up with Lynne's Fresh Sewing Days.
(Is there anyone who can keep up with this girl!)

So not much new this week from me, how about you?

  1. Hi. I have just found your blog via Lily's Quilt and look forward to following it. For many years I lived in Germany and have very happy memories of quilt classes in Eindhoven and cycling around Texel.
    I hope you won't be without your machine for too long.

  6. Hello, I've just popped over from Lily's Quilts too. My sewing machine was away for 2 weeks last year for repair and it felt like I'd had an arm chopped off! Hope yours is back up and running again soon. I'm looking forward to following your blog.
