Found: One Pig

Not much sewing today.  I did borrow my husband for a few minutes this morning to hold quilts for me out in the sunshine - I needed photographs of two of my more recent finishes and one that I'd somehow never got photographed before.  It was the second quilt I made since I started making quilts again.  Which was when Squiddle was about eight months old (May 2014), so I've been quilting for about thirty-one months now.  Not counting my dabbling in it a couple times over the last twenty-five years - this is the period when I've actually gotten relatively good at it.  And looking at my gallery and adding in the three I took pictures of today, that's eighteen quilts I've made start-to-finish in that time period, three tops I've quilted, and one top I haven't.  Not bad!

Anyway, the daily thread for today was pulling out the other of my two modern machines, my Babylock Denim Pro II, cleaning it out, oiling it up, and sewing a couple buttonholes onto what will soon become a drawstring playmat for Squiddle's Duplo blocks.  And when I say "cleaning it out" I don't just mean dusting it with the canned air.  When I opened up the bobbin case I found Squiddle's George Pig toy, which has been MIA for months.  Sigh.  And he wonders why Mummy doesn't like him playing with her sewing machines....
