Last week...

Last week my sewing machine was acting up.  I still have no idea what the problem was.  The tension was normal, the needles were new, and I broke 3. In ONE day.  So. After spending a couple of days just fuming over it and my inability to figure it out, I tried again.  And broke several more needles.  Saturday came, and it worked. I guess God wanted me working on other stuff last week. Anyhow, I finished the class project with a card game basket like the one you can see here. Of course, I had it all wrapped up and out the door before I got a picture of it, but it is literally the exact same as the one in the previous post that I had done.  And the checkerboard quilt fits inside perfectly!  my other finished items include these little guys:

Some more coffee wraps for the school bazaar.  When I get 20 done, I'll find something else to make, but these are cute, and quick, and, most important for a fundraiser, sold really well last year!

I also got 4 more star blocks done out of the scrap basket. And still no visible decrease in the amount of fabric stuffed into the basket!

I am not much of a "brights" person, but I can't get over how cool the black ones are!  I have decided that they will be sorted by background while they wait for a project.  Now I'll need to get a  pretty box for them too! 

My plans for this week include more star blocks (duh!), finish appliqueing Christmas quilt, and more bazaar items.  And maybe get some more yard work done.
