And One for Wendy...

The Threads is still available. Let me know where you want it sent. Sure I can't interest you in some Golden Girls costumery?

And the next Marlene pants are out from under the Singer, they have the basic construction done, meaning legs and crotch seams done and the seams finished. Finishing the seams was great and something I'd never really been able to do. My Pfaff would just squirt the fabric from out of the edge of the presser foot. Viking -ok, she needs a real name - feeds the fabric straight and does the overcast stitch very nicely. Part of the difference is Pfaff had you try this at the edge of the foot, Viking does it in the center of the foot. Tomorrow night I will probably only get the interfacing fused and maybe (eh, we'll see) the zipper. Probably not more than that.

I finished the quilt top. I haven't photo'd yet, but it's kind of neat. My proportions are off - too long and thin, but the pattern turned out interesting. I don't know (a) what to use as backing and (b) how to quilt it - patternwise. Suggestions? I know there's no pic here, but there are a few in previous posts. I have batting.

And I did my first embroidery. No use for the pieces, but it worked perfectly. Another teaser, maybe some photo's tomorrow night. Heck, maybe I'll frame them, my sewing room could use some "art". I used green thread (one of the spools that came with the machine) on dark blue linen, so it's nice. Sorry, all of you who were waiting for Winny to Pooh on my BurdaButt. I am still working on the double B graphic for my back pockets, LOL. Weny: you can share it as a member of the BurdaButt Club.

This morning we took a walk on the GW Parkway to view the eagle family. You can stand on the trail and see the nest across the street. (Photo complements ) She took much better photo's than I did, you should really take a look. Just scroll thru the pictures until you get to the eagles. There are a number of really nice shots. While we watched, an osprey raided the next. Not sure of the damage - if any - done. One of the eagle returned and chased it off pretty violently. It was quite a site.
