Waiting and it is really hard to do. I was on such a roll finishing up my UFO's, but then guess what? My machine decided it needed attending to. So while we wait (impatiently) for it to be fixed. (something was up when I was FMQing and it would get snagged and not let me go any further.) Any other stitching was ok., but all I wanted to do was FMQ.
This pile sits and waits.
It goes with this old UFO:
I miss my machine!
Patiently waiting,
Lee
I hope they will be able to repair your machine and that it comes back home to you soonest! We are helpless without, aren't we?! Mine should have been in for service just after New Year, but.... I needed it to finish some UFO's! :) Love that backing fabric as much as the top! Lovely!
ReplyDeletelee you can alwasys start a new project to prep and get ready for when the machine comes back...LOL yes sometimes we need attending too..but then it is worth it in the end. Love that string quilt you have there lots of work
ReplyDeleteHope you don't have to wait too long!
ReplyDeleteOooh....a quilter's nightmare! But you can always plot and plan your next project! I love your Valentine theme header! They are all gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHope you get your machine back soon. I have a backup or two so I don't have to stop sewing.
ReplyDeleteOh, sigh, it's so hard to be without a machine! Hope it gets better soon!
ReplyDeleteI hate it when my machine is in for service. That always seems to be the time when I really want to sew something! And you're right about that backing fabric. It's adorable!

I love the backing fabric and the quilt. I hope your sewing machine gets well soon!
ReplyDeleteAh...My "best" machine will be due for service soon too...it's starting to squeak when I do FMQ (and it can't be oiled -- at least, not by me)...so that's when I haul out my "work horse" machine (older and completely manual)...It's good to have backup. Maybe you can rent/borrow while you're waiting?
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling - just got my machine back from the tech - hang it there!
ReplyDeleteThat backing fabric will be great with that lovely quilt. I feel your pain about having the machine in for service just when you're on an ufo-finishing roll .............
