A Little Busy Here

I've been playing around with combining designs, aligning and stabilizing techniques. Also getting an imagine from the computer to the machine.......practice, practice, practice. I was happy with this process except the very center of each design has a thread hick-up.
This horse design was my second attempt. It deals with moving the hoop up or down on the machine.....in other words.....the design is in 2 parts.....after stitching half of the horse in the wrong position, I finally got it right......this design took about 45 minutes with no thread changes. I love the horse!
KE wanted us to make Red/White/Blue blocks for some "Wacky" project, so this is my first block. It's from Quick & Easy Block Tool #1 Air Castle. It measures 12 1/2" unfinished. It sewed up with no problems from the sewer...hehehehehehehe
This is my Mini-Booty Swap quilt which I will be mailing out to some luck participate real soon. I actually hand-quilted in the spaces and if you know anything about me...you know I don't like to use my hands......hehehehehehehehe. I'm very happy with the way this turned out and would love to participate again. Finally, please help me celebrate my 10,000s visitations by enjoying my blog, leaving comments and visiting often. I try to answer each comment and appreciate your kind words and views. I'll be out of pocket for a few days. It's time to sew with the "WackyPack" at Deer Camp. I'm sure I'll have plenty to say sometime next week.....Bye for now.
