Since I sold another Equality Quilt, I figured I would do something different with the equal block sign. What do you guys think? Obviously you can get whatever colors you want.

My Back Is Killing Me
I hurt my back at work, so I’m not going to be sewing anything tonight. I took a muscle relaxer, and hopefully tomorrow I will be back on track. Moving a fridge down a flight of stairs was very painful. lol. Thank goodness I’m 6’6″ and built like a brick … house. So, I’ll be okay, I just need to not be hunched over a sewing machine, no matter how much I want to. Hope I feel better when I wake up in the morning.

Equality Quilt: Quilting Tonight!
I started the quilting not too long ago. I ended up running into a few snags; mainly my thread tension was way off, but after I took apart my bobbin case, I found the culprit. Lots of lint! Now that my machine is clean, I started the quilting! It’s looking amazing!

I’m so happy right now! I’m taking a quick break from quilting to write this post and enjoy my bowl of ice cream and watch some Modern Family! However, I just need to say how awesome all of my readers are! They got me up to 100,000 views and now I’m giving away a quilt to someone randomly selected from the viewership!

Equality Quilt: The Blocks Are Getting Pieced!
After work today I can right home and started to sew! I’m about half way done sewing the blocks together and I’ll have it pinned later tonight. I’m really loving the way it’s turning out. Tomorrow when there is better light, I’ll take more pictures. I cannot wait for it to be light after 6pm: waiting for spring!

Equality Quilt: All Blocks Are Ready To Piece Together!
I did it! After much ado over piecing these blocks, I have done it! I have made 71 blocks and I’m going to email the buyer and see which ones he wants me to use, because all I need is 64, and I wanted him to have some options. I’m really excited to start piecing it, and I cannot wait to see it completed! Wish me luck!

My Latest Sewing Machine!
So, as we all know, I am a huge fan of sewing machines. I’ve got 5 piled up in my sewing room, and I try to use them all, even though I only use my Brother for winding bobbins since I melted some of the gears. However, I have a new addition to the family! I now have my Mother’s Singer sewing machine! I got it from my Aunt today whom my Mother gave it to when she passed away in 1993. Now I have it, and I’m going to love and cherish it! and it looks like a pretty decent machine too, so that’s always a plus! I cannot wait to clean it up and take it for a whirl!
