Teeny Tiny Scraps

While cutting fans for my sunnyside Dresden quilt, I ended up with a lovely pile of very small scraps. I tried to take a picture of them, but it was night time, the light is terrible in my sewing room, and I was too lazy to figure out how to make it better. So, just trust me that the pile was super adorable and far too pretty to toss in the trash. While chain piecing my Dresdens I used the scraps as leaders and enders and eventually ended up with a long string of tiny, wonky pretties which I turned into this:

New Fabric!

While picking up my sewing machine from her annual checkup, I browsed around the store and fell in love with this fabric - sunnyside by Kate Spain. It was so pretty and I loved the rainy day and sunny day fabrics all together. So, of course, I had to take it home with me. I bought two charm packs, grabbed my Pfaff, and zoomed home to play.

Serger Joy!

My sister sent me this little beauty a couple of years ago, and it sat in my closet waiting for me to do something with it. The problem was that it came without a power chord and I didn't have any idea if it even worked. So, before leaving on vacation, I took it in to my sewing machine guy and asked if he could turn my dust catcher into a working machine. And he did! Now I just have to learn how to use it. Lacie, I'm looking at you!
