cutting up scraps

well I went to a friends house for a few days to get help with new embroidery machine.  I have a quilt to finish that had 2 big blocks left to do and they needed to be re hooped. So the new machine has bigger hoops, but still needed to re hoop them due to the design being made to re hoop.   I got them done. Well as things will have it I ran out of the green thread I was using so we went to one store but they quit carrying that brand.  so nest morning went to another great shop and they had it, but bad news is that the thread cost me 100.00  since I had to buy some great sale fabrics!!!   then since we were close to the other great show had to go there too and another hundred dollars late left . I had been seeing special fabric on internet  that I wanted and they had it so just bought it to make a special quilt.   Went back to her house and finished the blocks.  I just need to make the border for these to blocks and add them to the quilt will post a picture when top is done.

Then we played with the machine making a in the hoop bag with a zipper, it turned out great. I am going to make some more hopefully for Easter.  Also made some bunny lip balm holders they are so cute.

I took a over-sized bag and  another plastic bag of scraps and I cut them all into 2 1/2 inch squares with her accuquilt go baby.  this was fun and fast also they are perfect.  Now I need to start my next leader and ender making 9 patches.l 

Well back home and back to working on customer quilts this week. 

Happy quilting,
Sharon J
