Lists ... we all need them ...



OK ... I thought I should do a ToDo list ... more to keep me on track than anything else really ... I find it so easy to get distracted and start more new projects ... which end up become more UFO's ... so ... hopefully with my ToDo Page I shall stay on top of things ... note I did say Hopefully...



I have been kept busy making swap blocks and mug rugs for swaps … and I guess without these I would be doing a fair bit more making quilts ... or so hubby would have me think ... but I know without the commitment of doing swaps I possibly would not get to close to the sewing machine .. I would make it as far as the computer and here I would stay ...


That said ... I do think I may have to cut back a little on the swaps tho … maybe … but as for which ones ... I really have no idea cos I love doing them all ... so for now ... I guess they will all have to stay ...



I have another project that I would love to have quilted by the end of this month ... but ...



I am doubtful if I will get it done ... my beautiful Brother Innovis 400 is at the doctors ... it got itself very very sick the other week ... and I managed to take it to Brisbane last Friday ... where I found out its problem was not terminal … phew!!! ... and that it would cost hopefully less than $100 to have it back up and running properly ... and I am hoping that the lovely man fixing it will have it all done by this Friday when we go back to Brisbane for my hubby to see the eye specialist again ... and then my lovely machine can come home ..



I do have its little 'brother' here ... the BC2500 ... which is a wonderful machine too ... and I have in the past quilted the same size tops on it ... but ... gee ... I am a bit older now .. and the joints pull up just that little bit quicker too ... and I don’t think it was ever really meant for that sort of work (and I don’t think I was either for that matter LOL) ... it is very lightweight and I truly have to chase it all over the table when I use it to quilt ... cos the smallest amount of pushing and it just gives in and goes with the flow ... haha ... I do like it tho and it is keeping me out of trouble at the present time … I am getting my swaps done … blocks and mug rugs …
