SEWING MACHINE CONFESSIONS AND PLEATED BLOCK NIGHTMARES

Having finished most of my current projects I hauled my smaller Bernina 480 sewing machine off to have a good cleaning.  I am ashamed to say time flies and it had not been to the doctor for a good checkup for nearly 5 years.  I do vacuum it regularly and oil it, but that really was no excuse, and the technition gave me a well deserved lecture.  My Bernina 750 needs to see him now too and fortunately that length of time has not gone by that long.

I got my February Sherri McConnell 2025 Block of the Month completed.  I am not sure I am into this project.  I may pass these two blocks on to a friend and let her deal with them.  

I did pull out this project that was started years ago.  I love the fabric choices but the blocks are really odd and they have sat in a drawer now for years.  However, I decided this past week to get them put together and off my TO DO SOMEDAY LIST.  

The twisted  block construction was odd to say the least.  They were a nightmare to sew together and whoever the poor quilter is that has to quilt them I feel sorry for.  I have it all bagged up and it is going to my charity group.  I plan to slip it into the completed quilt tops stack at our next meeting and hope no one knows it was me.
