One of my friend's told me on Sunday about a sewing machine on sale at Tesco. So, after church i dragged my DH down there. Whilst he was off looking at something else i was trying to decide whether to get it. Just as i thought i'd leave it and do some research first, a lady came up to me. She said she was a sewing teacher and that if i was looking for great value for money she highly recommended it and told me it'd do everything i needed it for. I checked she wasn't a tesco employee in disguise and then i got it!! And......i love it!! Why did i ever hand sew?!! My mum came round on Sunday afternoon and gave me a lesson for a couple of hours and i got the hang of it straight away. I wish i had something to make / finish now though! Unfortunately the table runner i'm making at quilting class has to be hand-sewn.
I had a finishing day on Saturday although i can only show one of the things on here at the moment. This is Lizzie Kate's "Baby sampler" and i finished it as a hanging ornament for my friend. I was really pleased with it.
I'll give an update on my quilting project soon. I have lots of hand-sewing to do tonight before the class on Thursday. This is my only free night this week so i better go and get it done!
