To celebrate, I found this great sewing machine ornament at Hobby Lobby earlier this week.
I have been doing some sewing. I finished 19 cool ties for soldiers last night. The ties have a cooling gel in them, that when soaked in water, will keep the soldiers cool. I used a Chevy car fabric that I had to make the ties.

I FINISHED THE HAND QUILTING!!!!!! 254 hours and 43 minutes of hand quilting on this quilt. It's been raining, so I don't have any photos of the complete quilt yet. Hopefully tomorrow the sun will come out and I can get my quilt holders to help me take some photos. Till then, here are a few sneak peeks.
The binding is ready to be sewn onto this quilt. Hopefully it will be finished by Monday. I have 2 quilt guild meetings this week (in person, social distancing) and I want to show the quilt off.
I may have a problem. I used chalk pencils, way back in 2009-10, to mark this quilt (flying geese, stars and pinwheels only) and I'm not sure the chalk will wash out well. Any suggestions????? I've tried using an eraser on those marks, but it only dims the marks, not removes them.
