Ooh another secret project 😆

jewells68 October 27 2015, 19:33:20 UTC

It's actually Jennifer's project, but I'm super-excited to be testing with her. :D

vandachit October 28 2015, 05:41:49 UTC

Awesome, I still need to find a tester for mine. Been testing myself but need someone else to do it as well. Jennifer has made a suggestion, I just need to follow up.

I'm itching to get started. Will have to get to the store one day soon.

Oh yeah can't have too many machines. I only have one set up though. I should dust some of the others off. Agree, don't need to stress about crafts, although I do. My husband has to tell me to calm down when I am cursing at some of my projects LOL. He says I am trying to be too perfect. Well, duh! :)

I've got my mom's machine in my closet. It needs some serious TLC. It sat unused for 10 years before I brought it home. Then I have my serger which is sitting on a shelf because I don't use it that often now that I'm not making costumes as often.

You did a really nice job with the storybook blocks.

I feel a lot the same about my PoD. I still have the last row of blocks to piece, but ALL THE THINGS. I suspect it'll be on my UFO list for next year...

Yay for a free Craftsy class!

Super Secret Projects are the best. ;)

jewells68 October 27 2015, 19:31:29 UTC

Thanks! I'm ready to put the storybook leftovers away for a while. I feel like getting two tops done out of that original top is still an accomplishment!

I plan to revisit my PoD only when I have more quilting under my belt sometime next year. THen I will finish it with abandon! Phebe's doesn't have all the embroidery and stuff, so I'm almost ready to tackle it, I think.

Hehe, I am going to dig around for what I need for our SS project, so I know what I need to buy.

ofenjen October 28 2015, 19:20:06 UTC

By the time you quilt your PoD, you are going to be SO ready and you're going to nail it. I just know it. :)

Super Secret...wooo! *glomps*

Good job on the storybook quilt.

I only have one machine set up right now, but have a few more ready to go whenever I need them.

jewells68 October 28 2015, 01:31:43 UTC

I honestly probably don't need to have more than the two I have set up. I can paper-piece on my singer if I don't want to have to keep removing my seam guide off the kenmore. but then if you have 3 machines, why not use them, right? ;)

vickybaggins November 2 2015, 13:41:34 UTC

More then one set up is great and we quilters could have 100 machines and we would still want more x

jewells68 November 2 2015, 14:25:30 UTC

Lol, I think I'm going to stick with 2 for now. I do have a quarter inch foot for my singer, so I might put that on it for traditional piecing when I'm not actually quilting a quilt. Or I might just buy that adapter for my Kenmore so I can use low shank feet. I'll have to think on it.
