W.I.P Wednesday

Where has the week gone??? This week I am making some progress...
From my original list; I have the Tree/House quilt top in the frames and hand
quilting it.  I have pieced a new top; I mentioned the cross stitch blocks that a
lady had for me to put together and quilt for her...well, that is together.plus I did make those little extra jobbies on my blog that weren't planned...I just couldn't get something together for the block party. I was disappointed, but, oh well...lol   Maybe next time,eh....good luck to all of you with your blocks..they look great.....have a good week.

Good luck to everyone

Have fun with the block party; all of you..I found out a bit too late for me
to get anything together. So; the best of luck, and can't wait to see all of the nice blocks......

Snowy Sunday

We got more snow over night and a bit of damp weather now; but not too cold.I wanted to show you all the little tote bag I just finished.....I think it is soooooo cute...lol

W.I.P. Wednesday

It is suppose to snow again today...and lots of it...but nothing as of yet...My work in progress; well, I will finish quilting the sunbonnet sue today. I did make a little pillow this week; from a tutorial that you can see on my blog(not  the tutorial) but where I got it. lol.     and I am working on another little project; but not at a stage to show you yet....just a little thing...so; to see lots of work on the go; get on over to Lee's,,,and see what she has going on this morning......

Question

I have a question for those who do free motion sewing....I don't do it much; but like to play around a little
Sometimes I have no problem; sometimes I do. The problem always seems to be with the threading; somehow. Is there a problem using monafilament thread in the needle and cotton/polyester in the bobbin?
I am asking this now because I spent most of my morning trying to get my stitches on top of fabric to work right....they were skipping; so I am assuming it is the bobbin. Or is it the combination of the two different threads?  Help!!!!!..LOL...It seems I can do a sample; it works...I get my good work out and it messes up.

Don't want to ruin things....any ideas????

Thank you
