How I Clean My Machine
Using a nylon brush to collect all the dust and get in between all the nooks and crannies. (I don’t use compressed canned air since it will blast air inside your machine as this will further wedge debris inside.)
I take the bobbin case by taking it out to clean it thoroughly — making sure to get inside and in-between the feed dogs.
Oh my baby Brother sewing machine!

Quiltin and Our Moods
Faces—-our Mood Shines Brightly
After today’s quiltin adventure…..our faces are smiling thru the upcoming eeek!!! Son I’m going to share my readings about the many subtle ways in which handwork like quilting might help with mood.
We gathered our scissors, fabric and glue sticks feel the need to gather fabric and create a merry face… a depiction of who we are! 💖…. It’s a new-never-before selection of our favorite fabrics. This is a self-directed activity that involve planning and an immediate visual reward, something that reduces anxiety and allowed our brain, heart and soul to relax into a sense of well-being. With each strip sewn or appliquéd—within a few hours we could track our progress and feel even better as we move toward completion of the image that evolved! Wow— our smiles are huge!!!
Great teacher and friends! Stay well my quilt ladies (men too)

Quilt Artists -NEWQ 2024
My new developing discovery…??? !!!! I really enjoy teaching quilters. The questions they ask, the fabric they select, the quilts they make - the creativity just astounds me sometimes.
I believe each one of these uniquely different women should be considered artists.
Just a few pics of my Facebook group—-NEWQ (NorthEast Wellness Quilters)
We gather 4-5 hours to cut, stitch, and we’ve made beautiful quilts!!! New techniques, new machines, new BOM fun—and food snacks!!!
There’s even an exhibit on the horizon for NEWQ

I Quilt - Every Day!
Fellow Reader of my blog. Share my heart today!
YES! I quilt every day! Be it in my thought process or in the up/down humming of my machine!
I quilt every day.
A Cuppa Coffee is brewing…I turn left to my sewing haven. I quilt two-four hours and more… machine or by hand! All day with diabetes breaks —Quiltin is my reward for finishing cleanup chores! Barefoot stepping into my sewing room brings me an immediate sense of peace even though pieces of scrappy fabric, patterns and books abound! It’s much like my ritual soak in a hot tub with scented candle lights…., then slipping between the sheets of my freshly made bed.
Two Day Finish * Quiltin the Quilt
I’m pretty satisfied. Just ankles and feet a bit tired. Good arm stretching/strength to waggle this… 90 x 102 inch quilt. Again I am pleased! And thank I purchased my now … almost out of showroom BABY LOCK CORONET QUILTING SYSTEM… just a six footer… but my thread and tension and stitch regulator has hummed along to a good finish line!
I promise my Baby Lock a good cleaning-thread clots to clean out and a new needle . Deservedly SO!
