Here I go again

Well here is another hobo bag that I just finished. I think that I need new black patent leather sandals, don't you? And it's so properly buttoned up the back, too.

What a machine that Janome 6600 is!!! I've been using it for a couple of days. The needle threader and thread cutter are wonderful and it stitches nicely, too. It's everything it's touted to be.

wire chair

Yesterday some of us who belong to Silver Dollers gathered at Bobbye's house to make doll chairs using coat hangers and # 16 wire. We designed our chairs with wire, used light weight wire to hold it all together and to help the warm and natural batting to hold tight as we wrapped the chair before using fabrics and embellishments to complete it. Here is how far it is right now.

Bobbye served a wonderful lunch featuring her famous tuna/pasta salad. She is a very gracious hostess.
It was a fun day with all 10 of us making our chairs.

new sewing machine

I am so excited!!! I got my new sewing machine with its own table. So easy to use with its uniform surface. It's a Janome 6600. I can't wait to use it. So far all I've done is set it up and read the manual.

new bags, so much fun!!!!

I have completed two more bags from some special Asian motif fabric. They turned out so well!!! I'm excited.

Here's the bag with the handmade silk flower attached.

A new bag

I just made a proto-type of a bag that I'll be teaching soon at our quilt club. Now to write up the pattern and instructions.
