QFK Fundraiser Quilts!

I was able to pick up some finished quilt tops from a sale at a wonderful quilt shop The Quilting Season in Saline for our next Quilts For Kids fundraiser.  Today I finished piecing the backs of those quilts that needed them and cut the batting.  Tomorrow we are taking them to our long arm quilter, Mavis Shanks of Quilting By Mavis in Howell, MI.  Once they are finished they will be available for sale to help fund our Chapter of Quilts For Kids, stay tuned!

December's Fundraiser for Our Quilts For Kids - Dundee Chapter

There were several of us who made items for the fundraiser in Saline back in December 2010.  I was having problems with my sewing machine and did not get done all that I wanted to do.  However I was able to get done some table runners and a lap quilt.  We are looking forward to the next fundraiser that our Fundraiser Coordinator - Diane Laybourn will be setting up for us.  These are a few items that a couple of us were working on for the fundraiser in 2010.  The pictures are in various stages of completion and a couple pictures of our display at the fundraiser!

Sewing Machine Problems AGAIN

This sewing machine is less than a year old and now I have to take it in AGAIN.  The first time was mid-December 2010.  At that time the issue was the thread breaking/jamming.

Now as you can see from the picture I have a new issue.  I can sew for awhile just fine and then this.  I am so frustrated right now. 

I'll take it back in for service tomorrow.  I wonder how many days will be wasted this time of non-sewing.
