A Sewing Weekend

I finished up a quilt this weekend...well, finished it as much as I can for now.

It is basted together just waiting to be quilted.  When I bought my new (to me) sewing machine it didn't come with as many presser feet as I use.  One that I lacked was a quilting foot.  For Christmas I received a lovely note from my parents informing me it was in the mail on its way to me!  Along with a walking foot too!!  I can't wait for them to come so I can try them out!

I was so excited about quilting i whipped out another too!

 

 I have been wanting to do a hexagon quilt, it was so easy and fast!  Love it!  Now...to quilt them all...

After sewing the quilts I was analyzing how I was going to quilt them when I realized my sewing machine didn't have a large enough sewing surface to easily quilt!  So I googled sewing machine extension tables...they sell for $100!  Next I googled DIY (Do It Yourself) sewing machine extension tables...and we had a winner!  I made a template, drew it up, planned it all out, Robert came home and made my idea become a reality!  He is AMAZING like that!  It is perfect and I can't wait to try it out!  (it is made out of an ikea cabinet door we had laying around and a 1 1/8 inch wide dowel cut into 3" long pieces screwed onto the bottom to make it level with my sewing machine.)

So that's that...What did you do this weekend?

**Better pictures will come when they are completely done and I take the time to use an actual camera, not a phone.
