Last night something I did to my sewing machine allowed it to get back to work so I attached the binding to the front of the quilt, making it ready for the final step of hand stitching the binding to the back. Today I began another quilt, a postage stamp of sorts made of 1 1/2 inch squares. But I didn't get far before the machine acted up again. This time Randy looked at it with me, and we believe one of the gears is slipping, which we probably cannot fix ourselves. Shopping for a new machine might be fun, but right now I just wish my old one worked. I'm familiar with it, and it has been a great tool. But many things wear out eventually, even if we take good care of them.
Tonight I will probably sew some of the binding. I also am nearly done knitting the first sock of a pair, so I might knit. The light weight wool yarn is a pretty shade of blue and feels good to work with. And there is always the cross stitch picture I started several years ago. My hands will find something to do!
