A Thing of Beauty

Hello, hello, is anybody still out there?This has been one heck of a winter. We still have about two feet of snow on the ground but at least we have sunshine and blue skies today.I recently treated myself to a new friend for spring sewing. Look at her; she's a sweet celery colored Singer featherweight - just right for getting into the spring sewing swing. I know what you are thinking. Some of you may think I have enough sewing machines, others of you know and understand. Really, this wasn't just a new, for play, machine. Really.Miss P and her friends are at just the right age for learning to sew. SO, I was thinking that I could get back into teaching kids sewing classes and maybe even have a kids sewing camp this summer. I'd like to have five kids sewing at a time so I really need ONE MORE featherweight.Still, I need to get her broken in and make sure she'll be a good machine for classes.See, I have a fresh spring colored project ready to go.I'll be making a baby quilt from Jaybird's Science Fair pattern. It's always good to have a few baby quilts on hand.I'm hoping for this winter to melt away into the past and happier, sunnier, less stressful days for sewing to sprout up.
