The sewing machine is smokin'

Woo...Scissors flying! Sewing machine smokin' and my back hurts!  Time for a break.  Well...way past time.  Working on the processional banners.  So it's cut and paste!  well, cut and sew come to think of it.  Who would have thought this would be such a big project.  Figuring out how to put the thing together is part of the work.  It needs a 1,2,3,4 approach.  Not a 1, 3,2,4 approach.  So...think, think which should help me make fewer mistakes.  . And then when one is finished it's do it all over again.  The second one should be easier.  Well, just a little bit easier.  So happy Bread and Bowl soup kitchen is tomorrow.  I'll be out of the shop at least for a morning.  Looks like the finish time will be Sat.  Hip, hip hooray.  Then the preacher's stole.  I can't say I'm board.   The sewing room looks very interesting.  That's to say it's a mess...buttons...yarn...beads...gold cord...more containers of yarn...more buttons...and scraps of fabric with thread everywhere.  That's my life for now and a few more days. I'm just happy I have the space to mess in!
