Coyote

I've been working on this Coyote. As per usual some of my kids have cruised through my sewing room and added or deleted parts of him so he is not 100% my creation. The pieces have just been cut out and then laid on a piece of background fabric. I'm not sure how I'm going to finally sew him. so far I've put a little glue under most pieces so I can move the piece. I'm wondering if he could be sewn down on the Lizzie so that the quilting and sewing are done at the same time.

The Fabulous Tin Lizzie



Okay so I admit that being gone over 6 months is just too long for a lame excuse, but I have one anyway. for some unknown reason I couldn't get on m site to change it. Why? what is it about these computers that make me feel so stupid and unable. Really we need machines that build our self esteem not make feel so out of it. But while I was away some exciting events have occurred. I got a Tin Lizzie mid arm quilting machine! I am in the process of learning to quilt on it. It's harder than I ever figured. There must be tricks that I don't know about. There is something about learning a new skill that is very stimulating. I don't think it applies to computers with me but to actually start finishing some of my many UFO's is beyond wonderful.
