I have so much trouble trying to limit new starts until I finish something! On the bright side, I can work on whatever I'm in the mood to work on any time; I don't have to get in the mood for one specific project!<br /><br />I love the idea of a valentine quilt every year. I got an idea for one while I was working on my Ticker Tape quilt, but I won't let myself start a new one until I finish two old ones. So it might be way past Valentine's Day by then!Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-23653906051160097602015-01-29T05:35:23.144-08:002015-01-29T05:35:23.144-08:00Oh no!

Love your Christmas quilt. I have one in the machine, 4 to baste and far too many ideas to be able to work on just one at a time!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06507562992976793622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-472890334639361722015-01-28T05:44:06.650-08:002015-01-28T05:44:06.650-08:00I usually can tell by the sound of the machine if ...I usually can tell by the sound of the machine if the bobbin is out, but that doesn't mean that I may have traveled a long way before I realize it. Boring me, I usually work on one project at a time. Not many UFOs.<br />I also have a fusible scrap box that I often plow through, usually for fabric postcards.Norma Schlagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979046682608968891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-90854884137978651702015-01-27T18:33:08.576-08:002015-01-27T18:33:08.576-08:00You bet I have done that Leeanna! and while SITD-...You bet I have done that Leeanna! and while SITD-ing too. I love your idea of creating a scrap bin for any fused bits of fabrics. Very clever to make them into heart too!

I thought, I need a box labeled "Fusible" to keep these in...they are too useful to throw away. Today, at school, someone threw away (gasp) a beautiful, sturdy box, just the right size to nestle into an empty space on my shelf. I rescued it, of course. Now, all it needs is a label, and my fusible scraps will have a home!Sew Much For Free Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05752519140772364873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-56587716720025367672015-01-27T14:08:30.959-08:002015-01-27T14:08:30.959-08:00Your post made me smile.

My machine has constant problems,but when the bobbin runs out and I don't notice for three or four feet, I just appease myself by saying that for that time,at least, the machine was working well. I, too, have WIP in boxes, on hangers, in drawers,on the machine and in my head.

What a loving tradition ! <br />today is our Wedding Anniversary so i will celebrate a husband that came with among other skills, as a former paratrooper, skills at the sewing machine!sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879764714948869488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-62812068092273048352015-01-27T11:41:18.506-08:002015-01-27T11:41:18.506-08:00I have always said, machines ought to have a bell ...I have always said, machines ought to have a bell that rings loudly when bobbins go empty and never stops until you fill it!
