OT/OOC

I have flannel. With little rubber ducks and bubbles, and some purple, and some kitties in pajamas. My regular sewing machine is misbehaving, and I'm going to send the Bernette back to the shop for a tune up. That leaves me with the Iron Monster that Gram gave me, or if I can wait another two days, the new machine that I sprang for with Gram's money. I don't remember if Gram got the Iron Monster in a sale or if it was Meme's machine. I beleive it's the latter. Meme is my other grandmother, who died about 6 years ago. Gram has an Iron Monster too- same year and model- 1949 Wards. Mine ate my thumb a few years ago, and I'm leery of it now. But I know I'll make sure it's working and usable. It's great for serious stitching in bulk.

This means of course that I have a flannel quilt to make. I've been "borrowing" the baby quilt I made for the newest neice, but since she hasn't been born yet, she won't mind if the cats and I test it out. But I need to make my own. I think it's time.

And I need to get more batting. I found some other fabric to use, and I can make some smaller things. They won't take much, but I'll feel better for doing it. I'll be able to embroider labels, and that's a neat and useful feature.  ¶ 7:32 PM
