I leave every event with the question, how can I make my product better? What can I do different?

This is one of several answers for the next event. Its still not complete but its a step closer.

The box fits the board, the tiles, and all the pieces.

Jager wants to know if I ever plan on just sitting down and rubbing his belly for hours. If only I could explain the why Im making another "whatever" or I could train him to cut fabric.

He sleeps at my feet when I sew. He chases me around when I work outside. I rarely have to look to find him. Yeah, he's spoiled but I wouldnt have it any other way.

For all the quilts I have made I rarely have made ones for myself. I did my parents 50th wedding anniversary, for my sister and sister in law, a few for friends and even 4 that have placed in state and regional competitions. (1 for each daughter and 2 patriotic which are in storage).

After I finished painting and rearranging I decided the couch needed a quilt so the sun won't fade the fabric. So sticking with my woods and blacks I picked this fabric.

However... I have had the mid arm for almost a year and apparently I need to use it more. I had to call my sewing hero Francine Necochea because I couldn't figure out why the software was giving me grief. Shame on me, I need to remember to keep it in my routine so I can master it. Thats a warning if you get quilts from me. LOL

Watching the machine work is always fun.

I will share pictures when its done.

Its "P" day at my house.

Finished Pink and Purple bags. Started a Patriotic.

Then when my allotted time was up,

Put the first coats of paint and trim on the front wall and window of the house. I really think this will be pretty when its done. The browns are the new colors, the peach is the old.

I have new faceplate for the outlets printing on my 3d printer. 😀

Not quite finished. Needs a strap and thread clips. But I have to "adult" a bit and go to the dump (because I ripped out the hall built in) and then to Lowes for some paint. If Im honest I should mow the front yard today also. Damn responsibilities. 😀
