trying to sew

After a flu-ish week I had no courage to sew a camel or a king, so I did some free-seewing today. Months ago I made a few blocks, sort of  log cabin, and today was a good day to use those blocks for some freestyle practise with the sewing machine!

The plan is to make a bag of it, I'll show you when it's done, here's a collage (yeah my first Picasa-collage!) of the quilting:

I tried different patterns (and sometimes it felt more like surviving to synchronize hands and feet, I'm quite sure I'll feel the muscles in my arms tomorrow, no gym for me anymore!). Practise makes perfect I guess....

Thanks for all your comments and emails about the Nativityproject, it really helps me to go on with it!

Have a nice day,

Anita

First time

A few days ago I received a parcel, with a darning foot for my singer. Today I had enough courage to try it.

And these are the first tryings - no, it's not my little daughter who played with my sewing machine :)

And it's also interesting to see it up-side-down!

And here's another experiment... lots lots lots to learn. I guess (hope) that practise makes perfect!

Have a nice day!
