Sewing Saturday

I was sewing some more blocks for my swoon quilt earlier when I realised I haven't cleaned my sewing machine recently. In fact since I bought it about 18 months ago I'm embarrassed to say. Hence it looking like this;


I could only clean around the bobbin case. Here I am trying to unscrew the plate using the screwdriver that came with the machine- I couldn't manage it as the screwdriver is too tall and I don't have a shorter one. Even without getting the plate off I managed to brush this lot out;

YUCK!

I did manage quite a bit of sewing today I know have 5 blocks of the swoon quilt sewn;


I'm pleased with the progress so far.

    Do you know about the virtual Spring Fair on Mum's blog?

    Your sewing skills could be show-cased on a 'stall'.

    By the way I have started The Inde Challenge.
