I'm really loving football season this year. The Cleveland Browns lost yesterday...in the last 4 seconds of the game. They are actually playing football this year...that hasn't happened in a long time! We may finally have a team here. I'm still a San Diego Chargers fan...but the Browns get my attention & cheers this year, too.
I can't just sit & watch anything...it used to drive my Mom crazy when I'd visit.
I got these 3 flowers finished during the games yesterday...and made a couple centers, too.
I'm happy with my progress here...and there's Monday Night Football, of course. I have some flowers ready to piece during that game...I don't even know who's playing...it doesn't really matter.
Last week was rather traumatic...my old sewing machine died. It's a White portable that I bought right out of college in the 1970s. The motor froze up...and I fear repairing it would be more expensive than investing in a new machine. So...I went online & ordered a new sewing machine from Target. It arrived on Friday...FAST shipping...and I'm playing with it to see how it works. It's a very basic machine, which is all I need. I'll share pix of her soon.
I'm linking up with Kathy & other slow stitching enthusiasts here...be sure to visit to see some amazing works of fiber art.
Love your hexies! It's what I'm working on right now. ;-) I can't sit and watch much TV without working on something - especially if it's sports on TV (we're big fans of baseball ... I love hockey, too). There are enough replays if I happen to miss something exciting. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour flower hexies are beautiful. I hate to sit and watch TV and have idle hands...however Mr. C requires complete darkness while watching TV so no busy hands for me. Enjoy your football...
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty Debbie! I love the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie!
ReplyDeleteOh no! So sorry to hear your sewing machine passed away. :( I learned to sew as a child on my mom's Singer Featherweight but when I was 22 she bought me my own Singer, and I still have it - so it would be around the age yours was.
I have my grandma's enormous old Singer (that began life as a treadle machine and later changed to a portable), my mom's Featherweight and my basic Singer from 1976 --- and I find myself longing for one with all the bells and whistles.
Happy almost weekend! Enjoy your football and new machine!
