Seahawks Lap Quilt in a Hurry.....


 Well, yes!!!! I entered the Warm and Cozy Contest to my surprise!  I realized I had done it in the time allotted in the rules, and everything fit, even though I had not thought if it before. HAHAHAHA...Generous gift of the lime NFL Seahawks fabric from a PR friend, and I had the dark blue which is the other side - it is reversible. Binding also the dark fabric, batting is Mountain Mist Cream in a double layer! I wanted to really be cozy.  I did not want to cut this fabric up and lose the amount seaming would have taken as the piece of lime fabric was so nice and this is all I had. I did use this quilt on my lap on the sofa last night and it *IS* cozy!  Thread for the top - the green, is Mettler Poly Sheen, also a gift from the PR friend. Color Lime Green Neon.  Bobbin thread was Superior Threads So Fine #60 pre-loaded bobbin. Love those pre-loaded bobbins. They are really a good buy and they hold more than your own bobbin winding can hope to hold. 

 
 I will be enjoying this all Winter. Not always enjoying watching my team - they lost last night, but that's how it goes - they need to stop getting themselves flagged because of committing egregious fouls. Sigh.  I have lots more projects cut out to sew now, so there should be movement on the blog from time to time in the coming months.  I am not done cutting out though. I have more tops to cut out and then I think maybe it will be time to sew.  
 
Please be good to your machines - I have been trying to remember to clean and oil mine regularly now because it is a distance to get them serviced and during this time it is also hard to get into the tech's list of tasks because of this virus. Take care and be safe. Wear your masks and be careful. :)

Practical and quick, while keeping warm watching your games--great combo. Don't forget the popocorn.

Someone on PR said that once a month or so she turns the knobs and moves all that can be moved, especially on older machines, so they don't dry up or get stuck which is worth considering.

Good idea!! Just play with the machines a bit each month. Sounds like something I could do! HAHAHA....
