My machine needs help!

-
OK, it's down....  My machine is jamming up and making a funny noise, which means I have to bring it in for a cleaning.  But it's because of all the stuff I've been doing.  I try to keep it clean inside, but I do sew a lot and here's a few more I've made with left over pieces
A table top for the top of our CD case holder.  They're 7" wide.


Another baby blanket with my favorite book.  Can you see who that is? 
Still need to quilt it....
Another two blocks from my Sewology
Another block from Sewology.  This one is pins and pin cushion.  Bad picture, sorry.
One of my Row by Rows from last year for "HOME".  
 From Quilted Treasures at 1140 Austin Ave, in Coquitlam, BC  

Of course the cleaning up of my sewing room is still in effect.  Here's an update of pictures.  One side looks really good, with the current project ont he right side of the sewing table.  But believe it or not the 2nd picture is actually an improvement of what it was before.
I can actually see the top of the bed.  Yes, that thing that looks like a desk is a bed that you pull out.  Not like those beds that you flip down.  This one has it so the front opens up and out comes the mattress.  The bottom drawer pulls out to be the support for the flooring of the mattress.  It's hard to explain but at one point the idea is for the top to be totally clean.  Every day you work a bit more.
Getting there....  More has been moved or packed away and all my painting stuff (you can see a bag of it, and a canvas by it (behind the blue cutting mat).  And all the stuff on the counter is gone.  It's getting there, it's getting there.....

So come Friday I'm bring in my sewing machine, and for the next week I'll cut patterns and catch up.  But I can honestly say that my OMG goal will NOT be completed in a week's time.  So I need to review my goals and see what I have to get done next for the quarter goal which I believe has gone by, but I'm still doing.  Continuing on....

One I missed and another done

 I’ve been cleaning my sewing office and I have been noticing how any UFOs I have but that’s ok because I’m retiring soon and all of the projects will keep me busy.  The kits are all together except for batting and backing.  So it’s a win win.  But I’m getting an overflow, too much stuff around to the point  that it's overwhelming me.  Like everyone else in the quilting world I can’t resist a new BOM or a bargain so I keep on starting new ones but I’m resisting ladies (hello my name is Nicole and I’m a fabricaholic.).  This past month I’ve been finishing off a lot of quilts (see last couple of blogs) but today I’m showing you one I did this month and another BOM from this year so it doesn’t become a ufo.  Here she be…. End of bed quilt. This pattern is free at Riley Blake Design, on this link.     The squares are 10 and a half in size.  Their pattern did not include the blue line I put in, a 1 1/2 inch fold.  Stitched between the blocks, a 2” piece and the side borders.  It made th

 And I’ve been able to get some painting and sewing in.  I have completed some baby quilts, made some gifts and cleaned my room after my bookcase collapsed.  Yeah you heard right, my IKEA bookcase (with drawers) stretched out and the shelves came tumbling down.  Too many sewing/painting/quilting books and paints in it.  Out with that old and in with a used steamer trunk that I redid.  Final product are the 1st couple of pictures.  Even used wood glue for cracks. Redid with restick wall paper that is waterproof.   All my supplies The crack that I wood glued. The start that took about 2hours. The finish product that has projects in containers, and fabric for sewing clothes.  It worked well. Then I had some things that are just in a tray that I needed to fix.  So I completed these projects that were small and almost done. The container  Pillow case embroidery  Mug rug, hand stitched.  Tea dyed. Look at the stitching or rather quilting. A dress that needed a hem and to fix neckline A very

 With a few UFOs done.  They are Cat Approved. Both of these have gone to the hospital's children's ward. Yes they are identical.  The material was given to me two years ago, with the blocks already done. I just finished it off and binded it. This one is a Joanne's Kit from 5 years ago, before Covid.  The kit contained all the material and the pattern, but some of the material had been changed and that's why the discount.  The kit was $20.  For all the top material.  What a steal!!! Simple quilting in the ditch and some echoing. My husband loves the colors.  Perfect for a guy.  I was going to give this away but the hubby said no, it's perfect for our house, so it's staying. I also did one more quilt for a friend that I gave away last week so now I can put it up here.  It's part of the American Quilt UFO challenge.  I found some of the trees premade and in a box while trying to clean my quilting room. Made a couple more, and started the art drawing. A good si
