I just got my sewing machine fixed yesterday and was able to finish up a few projects. Many more to come including the prize for winning the comment contest two months ago. (Sorry Laurie and Ana. I'm working on it.) Anyway I never can just go partway with something. I started making bibs, so instead of making a few I made 40.
This is my attempt at machine quilting myself, since this quilt is much smaller than many that I make. It turned out okay, though I think doing this is how I broke my machine.
The real work this week was creating these two terraced beds for tomatoes and potatoes.

Here you see after the tractor came and we laid the corn bed down.
And here you see the two beds. The tomato plants have already been planted as you can see in the second bed. Look how much greener the tree is in just a little over a week's time.

Love the bibs and quilts. I'd love to see the machine quilting up close!
