What was I thinking?! I only got one side of each of my triangles done before needing to call it a night.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05774743314071443639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070376410593750454.post-31157290502893559082011-03-10T07:49:09.563-06:002011-03-10T07:49:09.563-06:00What a beautiful block!What a beautiful block!Sara @ Sew Sweetnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10912790037855020057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070376410593750454.post-67944190319106616692011-03-10T05:28:57.702-06:002011-03-10T05:28:57.702-06:00That block is gorgeous!!

I'm glad you had Wilma to fall back on.<br /><br />According to the lady at one of my LQS's, irons suck A LOT of power...so much so that she's been told that they really should have a dedicated circuit (yeah, like hardly anyone can afford that!). Anyway, barring that, she says that you should never plug the iron and your sewing machine in on the same circuit. Of course, she also recommended this huge surge protector (not those little strips that you can get anywhere), so.... {I haven't rushed out to do any of this}<br /><br />Hopefully it doesn't take much to get Nancy back to her normal self.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04781651275997050281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070376410593750454.post-86295377828069151822011-03-09T18:49:01.209-06:002011-03-09T18:49:01.209-06:00Yay, it looks gorgeous!!

I agree with Kati, give Wilma a shot at FMQ - I also have quilted inadvertently with my feed dogs up and found it not to be super duper different.

It made much less difference that I realized it would.Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609256565071955410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070376410593750454.post-74266672633742630682011-03-09T18:30:37.283-06:002011-03-09T18:30:37.283-06:00Love your block!

I have an old, inexpensive machine. I think about getting a new one all the time, but I know all of my old machine's quirks and I know how to fix it when it jams. I hate to give up that familiarity!Katie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13648256706053052966noreply@blogger.com
