4x7 Sewing Challenge - Week 1

2/7/2015

 
4x7 Sewing Challenge at Berry Barn Designs
So... how was your first week of the 4x7 Sewing Challenge??! When I tackle new habits and commitments, I always find the first week the easiest because I'm excited and motivated and have the best of intentions, so this week was fun for me and I managed to get my thirty minutes of "selfish sewing" in every single day. But next week might very well be a different story ; )

I made practicing on my new-ish longarm my goal for the entire month, and I hope to have a sampler book of designs to refer back to when I'm finished. This week I completed about fifteen blocks for the book and I started a cute Valentine's Day project.

I love that you are taking the time to really use that longarm and make the book for yourself. My mother had a handiquilter that I believe was the first model invented and I spent 2 years fighting with it to the point that I almost threw it all away one day. It always seemed like there had to be an easier way to make it work and I think the many upgrades since then have made it easier. She finally sold it so now I just have my regular machine to pretend that I can quilt.

Thanks for having this linkup! It kicked my butt in gear last week and I hope it keeps me going all month!
