Randomness, a question and a modification

You could say it's been a wee bit damp in these parts,

this "growth" was growing in the front lawn.  The neighbour has all kinds of

mushrooms coming up all over his lawn as well.

It's clouds like this that's been bringing the rain and a few mini funnel clouds.

The cloud bank is starting to descend on the church,

there's a couple of bats living in the church belfry!

Our's is a small village of 170 peeps.

How many peeps live in your village, town, city,

where ever you hang your hat?

How's this for really gross?

Does anyone have a suggestion for getting this poor iron cleaned off?

I know it's a mess and maybe it's time to turn this into a paper weight

but I'm hoping I can save it and squeeze a little more life out of her.

I wanted to share this discovery with you,

it may be a big help to you while quilting!

Do you have a plastic quilting foot for your machine?

Does it have a closed oval/circle where the needle moves through?

Do you find that you can't see your work all that well?

If you cut out part of the plastic from the foot and file the edges smooth

you have a foot that you can actually see where you're going and what you're doing

before and during the time you're quilting. I have found that since I modified my

quilting foot, I have much better control and much better success!

Today I'm guiding my foster daughter towards the completion of her very first

doll quilt sew we'll see you later!

Have a stitchin' day!
