It was bound to happen. I came home from work to find Tanya sewing. OK she was not actually sewing, when I came home more like crying. Tanya made us a burp cloth. She sewed the outside edge flipped it inside out and then was going to put a decorative trim around it.
She set the machine to the decorative stitch hit the peddle and SNAP! She broke a needle. Not to be set back, she quickly swapped the needle and SNAP! This is of course where I come in with her crying. Last night when sewing I put my 1/4 inch foot on. She not even knowing what that thing is. She did not know that if she did a stitch that the needle moved back and forth would have to put the normal foot back in.
Needless to say I came to the rescue, such a good husband I am (yes I am sucking up for every ones love) and swapped her foot and helped her sew.
We are now the proud owner of a burp cloth with a pretty little edge around it.
I tried to convince my wife that I could slap one of my cool labels on it and she explained to me that I don't need it thrown up on so no label.
Not to be totally out done I did get some brown granny squares in and some 5 X 5 blocks done.
If you look close though at the top right block on the bottom left corner I messed up the out side edge making one of my lighter tans end up on the out side edge. Oh well. I do have 4 more piles of squares to sew up tonight so once I get done posting this off to work I go.
