Not sure where the month went but its gone too quickly. yestarday I spent most of the day in my sewing room. managed to get the latest quilt sewn together and ready to quilt. also took care of my vegetable plants. which are growing like crazzy was afraid with all the rain weve had that they might do too well but they seem to be doing fine. 

 
watched a vidio yestarday on a lady who went to harbor freight with her husband and was amazed by all the items she bought that could be used in her sewing room. everything from magnets bowls for her pins to tape and the tool to pick up pins from your floor. ect. very interesting on just how many things she came home with. think I will have to go and check it out. watched another vidio on creating scrappy backs to quilts. that is something I have always wanted to do but have always been in too much of a hurry to take the time to make them. however after watching the vidio there are a lot that are very quick and easy to do. may try that with the dissapearing nine patch that I just finished."

Do most of you just sew quilts or do you sew other things like I do." am really wanting to sew another bag but am torn between all the quilts I really need to start quilting or just taking time out and sewing a bag to take a break. 

oh I ordered a new iron . I have a new one on my ironing . board but the little tiny iron I have next to my cutting table does not have an automatic shut off and I actually forgot it for the first time in I don;t know how long and left it on all nite. that worried me so I decided to get a new one with automatic shut off. the one I bought is basically cordless it has a cord wrapped up inside the iron to charge it but other then that it is not exposed. I read lots of reviews and for the most part people really seemed to love it. some complained that it did not stay hot long enough before cooling off and they had put it back on the cradle to get it hot again. I think that when you are simply sewing blocks together it should not take that long and should remain hot for the amount of time you need. its due here on the seventh so will find out more then. hopefully it will do the job and I can sleep at nite not wondering if I turned off the iron. I thought about getting one of the plug ins that you could shut off automatically but I have so many plugs and things in my sewing room that are plugged in that I thougth it would be a pain trying to connect them all. this seemed easier by far then all the other alternatives. well guess I had better try and get something done. I am sluggish this morning for some reason. slept good last nite but woke up at two this morning and couldn't get back to sleep untill about four then I slep untill seven. story of my life lately.
