Sew Sew Sunday

 

I went back to work on the spring placemats yesterday with a renewed respect for the rotary cutter. I don't want a repeat of my little accident even though it really was just a little boo boo that wanted to bleed a lot. 


I also went back to work on that nightmare of a project that I am trying to machine quilt. I had more popped seams to repair and lots of technical difficulties with the machine. Somehow I managed to drop the bobbin deep into the body of the thing. I tried everything I could think of the fish it out. Finally, I remembered I had dad's telescopic magnet thingy and slowly but surely I coaxed it out. 


And.....thanks to my sister's partner, we finally got that leaked fixed. He does that sort of thing for a living so he could spot the mistake we had made right away. With the leak fixed we could finally put the finishing touches on what has been a weeks long staging area for all sorts of plumbing mischief. Ta da.....three out of three bathrooms-DONE.

  3. Yay for a completed bathroom! It looks great. It's good to have help once in awhile isn't it? I'm glad your finger is better and you're sewing away again.
    Blessings,

  4. Always useful to have a plumber and/or electrician in the family. I've got a couple of motor mechanics who are almost as handy and who tend to be a bit more practical than my lawyer husband. Good for some things, not so good on the tools.
