I Hope It's Working

I'm hoping the computer is working.  It's still been slow and some sites won't load, so not sure if it's totally fixed.  But we'll give it a go, as I really miss being able to blog.

First, a little catch up.  The last 2 weekends I took a class on using the Twister Ruler.  It's really fun and much easier than the directions looked like.  Here is the final quilt before I started cutting out the Twisters.
I was going to put the yellow squares where the 4 white squares are, but I ripped out the wrong row, so I just went with that.
I got the first 2 rows done in class and then I started to have problems with my machine.  I ended up leaving a little early, but when I got home and changed bobbins, it worked just fine.  Not sure what the problem was.  This weekend with all the snow,
View from my sewing room.

I was able to finish the top and it's now ready for the borders to be added.  I am going to use a dark brown for the 1st border and I need to buy some fabric from this line for the outside border.  I am so happy with the way this turned out.

And I'm just as excited over this new (to me) way of hemming jeans that I found on Pinterest.  Check this out!  SO easy!  I have some cords I'm going to try it on next.
