New Purchase

This is my new purchase, can you tell me what model she is???  Thought it was a 66 but the stitch length is not the same as my red eye. 

These are the decals on the bed of the machine, there is some red in there and in the flowers

Faceplate and the tensioner is in a different place from the red eye also.

I'm sorry but I forgot to turn these first and the blog won't let me delete them and get the correct ones.  But you can see the bobbin winder and the stitch length indicator.  There are no numbers by the stitch length screw. 
I want to buy some parts for this machine but until I know what it is I can't get them.  It was electric but I want to convert it to a hand crank.  Thanks for your help!!!!

Graduation Quilt Ideas



Please let me know if these fabric will work for your quilt.  The gray and cream would be the constant with the green and gold being scrappy.

Celtic Solstice Design Table 12/16/13


Well I have the HST all done with a few extras.  Clue one is all done.  Only the cream squares sewn to half of the rectangles on clue two, no idea why I procrastinate on this one but it will get done eventually. 

Check out all those colors on Bonnie's Monday Link Up.

Design Wall Monday December 2, 2013

I'm excited to start a new mystery with Bonnie Hunter called Celtic Solstice.  I've started the first clue, have 74 of the 188 units needed for this clue.  I'm making a few extra to be able to make the quilt a bit longer than the 75 by 75 size given.
Hope I have enough variety in colors.  My other two colors are pink and plum.  Just using one fabric for the plum as I don't have a lot of variety with that color.  I was in a pink swap so I'm hoping that those strips will come in handy for this quilt. 

Go to Bonnie Hunter's blog if you want to see more of the clues.

Design Wall January 22, 2013


Ok so I'm late on the design wall thing.  This is four blocks from Flower Garden by Kim McLean.  I have been working on setting up the next 12 blocks I need to do for my quilt.  Time will tell if I do all the border applique. 


Our guild had a jelly roll race this past weekend. I didn't have a jelly roll but lots of errant 2.5 inch strips so used those.  Got the borders on today for show and tell tomorrow if the snow lets up.
For more eye candy check out Judy L's blog.

Pictures Problem

I used to be able to click on the picture and upload pictures from my computer.  Now I can't seem to do that.  Did the blog change and I missed that???  Or did I do something wrong.  Now you can only get them from another blog post, web cam, URL, or one of the photo sharing sites.  None of which work for me.  Thanks for any help you can give me.  Otherwise I will be shutting down this blog as I started to share pictures of my quilting.
