Welcome! This blog is about all the crazy stuff that goes on with family, friends, and creativity, and how rescuing Saint Bernard’s make my life totally Saint Powered! I sew, quilt, paint, draw, crochet, and make jewelry. I don't usually use commercially produced patterns for what I create - but don't think I don't have commercial patterns - I collect vintage patterns (prior to 1980).

Coloring Portfolios
Hi! I finished the coloring portfolios! Yippee! Last Friday night I was using my Singer Geni to finish up on the portfolios. Ugh! The poor machine needs a good cleaning and tune up. After hours spent rethreading after thread breaking every couple of inches. I tried different thread, a new needle, and adjusting the tension over and over again, I just gave up and brought out the Brother. So now, I have three sewing machines that need to go to the shop. While I am at it, I think the sergers need help too. Back to the portfolios... I think they turned out ok, considering the horrendous mess the sewing machines caused. Still stuck with the fisher price primary colors. Next one will be done a little different. I found some better stabilizer. Moreover, I hope the machines cooperate! I have attached photos of the outsides and insides of both portfolios.
