Such a Tease

Creating

Here you go Helen. Your tease! :)

It's taken me long enough, but this is my very FIRST block for my Stitch-Tease International Quilt Bee. It was "due" April 1st. I'm a little behind.

Truth be told, I've been crazy busy with TRAC and RFKC this year. Then, the day I bit the bullet and got a babysitter for Maze just so I could sew, my stupid, nasty, hateful vicious little Vera broke. Again. I am so frustrated. I've called the store a couple times and left messages to see when I could bring the machine in, but I haven't gotten a response. And I can't afford a new machine. And I can't quilt on my back-up machine (can't do much of anything on that little bugger Brother.) And I don't have friends with machines I can borrow. *sigh*

I have a couple WIPs left that I really wanted to get finished this week, as well as an awesome new little thingy-majiggy I am doing for Miss Rachael at Imagine Gnats but I can't start without a machine... *double sigh*

If any of you win the lottery, promise you'll buy me a new machine, ok? I'll even send you Vera so you can take a baseball bat to her!

  1. A lottery win gets you a new machine and a Stitch Tease get together at Annabella's in Marrakech! Love the baseball bat idea though.

  8. That's such a cute block! Just go down to the shop with Vera and refuse to leave until you are seen by someone! Be ruthless Danny!
