This hand-pieced
clamshell quilt is my current machine project.
Work has been slowed by thread tension and bobbin issues which, I hope, have
finally been resolved.
My handwork has been focused on making hexie flowers from Kaffe fabrics for my Kim McLean project. I think I need 13 for the border. Working with these fabrics is fun and my current take-along for Tuesday sewing.
The only completion I can brag about this week is this 1,000-piece
puzzle that Julia gave me for Christmas.
We are expecting a handyman to come Tuesday. Smoke detector batteries need to be changed before the chirping begins. Neither of us belongs on a ladder.
We were very fortunate with regard to the winter weather last week. No icy roads in our immediate area, but we did get 2/3 inch of much needed rain. Many of the bloggers I follow had their hands full dealing with snow. The pictures were pretty, but I didn’t miss the hassle.

I will need to be finding a handyman one of these years too neither of us really belong on a ladder anymore but only one of us admits that!!
In my little town the firemen will come and change batteries in the detectors for us.
I'm having the same troubles with tension and bobbin on my longarm. I need to get back to it.....
Must be something in the air... I've been struggling with thread tension too. Cute hexie flowers. Can't wait to see the clamshell quilt done. I haven't done a puzzle in ages. Glad you didn't have to deal with snow and icy roads. We are dealing with hot and humid weather, phew!
You are smart to have someone replace your batteries (especially before they chirp). I can't keep Hubs off the ladder. :( Looks like Texas (and most of the nation) is going to be in frigid weather next week, but they are still undecided about any snow. That clamshell quilt is beautiful.
