On the Border

 I was enjoying myself immensely all the while I was chain piecing and using my new little doohickey to cut the pieces apart.


 Of course disaster struck. Doesn't it always when you are feeling sure of yourself. Look at those stitches. Somehow the machine had come all unthreaded while I has merrily sewing away. Since I was stitching like a well oiled machine, I had a lot of seams to pick out and redo. Jeesh.



All's well that ends well. The borders are done. Now I have to sandwich them and quilt them. They are going to be the first things done in free motion on the Juki. Wish me luck.

    Looking forward to seeing what you and the Juki do! The fabrics are just perfect for fall sewing.

    Sigh-hate it when the machine doesn't stay with the forward motion of my zen! lol
    The blocks turned out great-love the colors!

    Isn't that always the way? But you ended up with some gorgeous squares anyway. :-) Have fun with the new machine. I can't wait to see the results.
    Blessings,

    Been there, done that - many times, and it's always frustrating. Your blocks look fabulous. I've always wondered if people like the thread cutter device.

    Don't know how I got so behind on your posts!
    Sorry about that. Looks like you're having fun with your Juki even though it couldn't keep up with you. Love those pretty blocks!
