well this week, he must have been hysterical! I set out to finish my third quilt, the camo one for Nick who loves everything army related. Everything was going good, I was almost done and only had threes rows left to sew when the bobbin case broke. UGH! The closet place that had them was 1/2 an hour away in another state, so off I went on a road trip with my two younger ones and my mother in law. Yes I could have ordered it online, but wanted to get the quilt done and was too impatient to wait for it to arrive in the mail. So I got it installed, started to finish sewing and my bobbin ran out so I had to make a new one. So apparently the joke is on me. I did end up finishing it although, I am not too happy about it. For some unknown reason, some of my rows came up short and by a lot, but have no fear I know my little army guy will still love it and he won't notice the imperfections, just the fact that him mom loved him enough to make him a special blanket.

The broken one is on the left. Can you tell where it is broke?
All fixed!
Let's get it started....
Finally going to finish!
That is until I had to wind another bobbin. LOL
