birch trees again

The color for the February rainbow scrap challenge is yellow, my favorite color. I didn't have time to gather the yellow scraps, yet, but, I had a chance to work on the birch trees at Friday group. I got this far, and then, some little bitty stubborn thread got stuck in the bobbin case, and I couldn't sew any more. bummer.
I cut some flannel kits until I ran out of flannel that I had brought.
Luckily, I have a great machine repair guy at home, and he was able to take it apart, and get my sweet featherweight up and running again.


Also, this week, I prepared the back and binding for the tokoyo subway quilt. It is all nice and ready for a turn on the longarm. I have a much too long list of quilts that need quilted, so, it may be awhile. But, progress is progress.

    Your birch tree blocks are looking great, and I can't wait to see the quilting on your Tokyo Subway quilt.

    Progress! LOVE that Tokyo Subway quilt. Can't wait to see it all quilted and bound. Good things come to those who wait. I have a pile for the longarm as well. The birch trees are fun too. Woohoo!

    SEW sorry to hear about that pesky thread! Glad that your repairman at home was able to fix it. Getting SOME rows sewn is better than a stack of blocks!
