WIP Wednesday 12.22.21

 I had a finish this week!  I finished my Slabs with White Rectangle crib quilt.  It's from 2014 RSC!  You can read more about it here.

Another cabin was completed on Sunday for my Cabins by the Lake Quilt.  One more cabin to go!  This is a Fons & Porter pattern.

More leaders and enders were added to the box.  298 of 900 are now complete.  These are 3.5" blocks.

I started a NEW mini project.  I don't expect this one to stay on my WIP list for too long.  This is Glad Tidings.  Pam Budah had a mini sew along.  You can read about it here.

The gifts are wrapped.  The menu is planned.  Owen is content and has just a few fun virtual meetings and a party.  I was sewing along, singing my song... then all of a sudden my sewing needle broke.  I think I hit a seam but nothing out of the usual.  I have replaced another needle and it broke too.  I really hope it is just out of time, but when I push the needle down button it makes a whirling noise and then nothing happens.  I hope I didn't break something off in the head.  The repair person where I bought the machine is  out until the first of the year.  I called my old repair guy.  He doesn't really repair digital machines, but he told me he'd look at it.  Fingers crossed...

Meanwhile, this is the first time I ever used this heavy duty machine.  My sister-in-law gave it to me several years ago.  It lives in the cabinet below where my regular machine sits on a piece of cardboard on top.  It seems to stitch just fine.  I need to figure out where to line up the foot to get that perfect 1/4" seam and I think I'll be able to piece a few more blocks.  

I'm linking up at Quilt Fabrication for Midweek Makers 311.
