FWQAL Block & New Kaffe Stash

I managed to find a few more pieces of Kaffe for the FWQAL project...
hopefully they'll inspire me to  play in fabrics and make a block every once in a while.
Today's block is the Broken Sugar Bowl (#12 in the series). Now that I've seen this fabric together, I'm wishing I bought a bunch of yardage....DH LOVES the colors, which are not as blue as they appear in the photo. The solid is a bright teal and absolutely stunning! 
I might just have to hunt some more down one of these days.
Wishing you a Sunny Sunday & Happy Piecing,
Heather

Portable Perfection


 

This little beauty is the latest addition to the sewing room. I'm not keeping track of the number of machines I have stashed in there but admit I do have a few...none as pretty as this one, though! I'm super excited about my new-to-me beautiful featherweight. It runs SO smoothly and is incredibly quiet. I find the noise of machines so distracting that I have never actually brought one along to group quilting. I've been OK with slow hand sewing and great conversations but now, I can speed along with some chain piecing while chatting....and can't wait to test it out in a group setting!
Piece.
