Helga is set up with her walking foot...
(finally!! I think I have
mentioned before
how I don't like how
you have to attach this...)
And so I took out my last year's
Easter quiltlet and
began to machine quilt....
I did all the sashings first
That took about 1 and 1/2 hours of slow
stitching... (with breaks).
I used my machine's
"Fix" button to begin and end each row--
so no back stitching needed;)))
I cannot believe it took me so many years
to even find this feature!!
[And, yes, I did read and re-read
my booklet....
But evidently missed this one!!]
Here is the back with the wonderful
Easter Eggs fabric and two leftover
pieces of KF fabrics
that just seemed to
"go with" them...;)))
I hope tomorrow to quilt the squares
diagonally...
I referred to my favorite machine
quilting book 
for those of us who
do not do free-motion quilting: I
could never get the hang of free motioning.
I can only do short stints as my shoulders
and shoulder blades complain mightily even
though I do try to sit as close as I can--
Perhaps I tense up????
(that is the extent of my sewing for today....)

On Hiwmhi (Home is where my heart is)
the first 4 pages are all basted and
mostly done--i may add a few more little
bits and bob though--ya think???;)))
😁😀😂😃😄
So now, I am thinking about an Ocean page
as we have always lived close to the Sea...
Thinking of some kind of little landscape
I am reviewing Magpie's Mumblings"
beautiful landscape art as well as
searching throughout
Youtube for inspiration..
I made one little landscape piece
"yonks" ago for a close friend who had
sent my a postcard from South Africa
to commemorate her trip...
this will be quite the challenge...
**********************
Here for those of you who asked--
are the first little pieces of Winter Rye
poking up in my little planter box....
Can you spot them?????
