I have a zillion projects in the works right now, but as soon as I saw Judy Laquidara’s new pattern, Paint Stix, I loved it and knew I had to try it right away!
I’m using some fabric from stash that I have always liked but found difficult to use before. This pattern seems just right for it.
Here are the first six blocks:
I am sewing on “Ethne” today, which is my Singer 319K from 1960. She uses special 206×13 needles, which are difficult to find these days. Just last week I was lucky enough to find some more needles for her, so now we are off and running again. She has many amazing features for a 50-year-old sewing machine, including some incredible embroidery patterns.
To see what other quilters have on their Design Walls today, please visit Judy’s blog for a list of links.
Happy Quilting!
I made something very similar a few years back out of all blues and yellows, still like that quilt.
What a cute machine…must be fun to sew on that!
Great that you started the Paint Stix quilt. I love old machines; they work so much better than new models.
That looks like a fun quilt to make. I want to finish a few more quilts before I start another one.
Paint Stix in Blue…I love blue color so can’t wait to see your version of this quilt done.
Ethne is a star. Beautiful girl! 🙂
Happy quilting – Hugs.
You go girl! I saw Paint Stix too, and as BADLY as I want to jump right in, I MUST finish up some projects with deadlines! ({{and not to mention I have YET to cut into my Too Good to Cut Challenge!}})
Okay, I had to go check one of my machines–similar–a 306W. I think she takes the same needle. I bought her on an auction, I know the lady who owned her used her a lot! I love older sewing machines—they are so dependable.
I am so envious of your gorgeous well looked after sewing machine…….
