1) the needle fell out(!) of my sewing machine while I was quilting an upcoming feature project; and 2) after switching to my back-up machine, the walking foot broke(!). Needless to say, my 'good' machine is in the shop for 10 days, getting an unscheduled checkup. And thankfully, the back-up machine is doing straight stitching just fine. W.i.P. Wednesday waits for no one, so on to what I managed to accomplish . . .
Finished projects
Metal Frame Purse - After my fun first glue-in metal frame purse, I really needed to make another right away. Seriously, I can't wait to make another one!
Ongoing projects
Halloween Stitchery - Almost done, then I'll make a sweet little goodie bag with it.
Mod Pop Quilt-along - TWO blocks done!
Christmas lap quilt - Finally got the center 9 blocks sewn together, and 3 of the next set done!
Modern Crosses quilt & Dresden project - Unfortunately, no progress.
Upcoming projects

Linking up with W.i.P. Wednesday.

Great fabric choice for the purse!
I love your ModPop quilt so much! And that Christmas lap quilt is looking fantastic. Can't wait to see that grow. :D
ooooh, I love your Christmas quilt, it looks fantastic. Hope you machine feels better soon.
That happened to me once too - the needle falling out mid-quilting. Thankfully nothing was amiss, I just put a new needle in and tightened it really good and carried on. Hope you get your good machine back soon - didn't you just have it serviced??
The purple mod pop blocks look great!
Everything looks so great - that purse is particularly wonderful!
This has happened to me before too, but luckily it happened just as I was at the end if my row and didn't cause a problem. Now I definitely tighten my needle before I start sewing every day
The ModPop quilt is awesome! great work.
That purse is so cute! I love the colours in your ModPop quilt.
Love the purse! What gorgeous fabric!
And as always - I'm so taken with the colours in your Mod Pop quilt - it's looking great!
woooohooo mod pop looks awesome, did the email help at all?
I love your combination for Mod pod. Awesome!
Love the Mod Pop! So different from your usual style! Good luck with the sewing machine!
You have been busy! Your purse looks amazing - great fabric!
Oh my goodness, I didn't even know that a walking foot could break! Good luck with your machines getting better quickly :) And I adore how your metal frame purse turned out!! So cute! Your embroidery is just darling, too, your stitches are so perfect and tiny!
Your Mod Pop sure is interesting. Love the colors.
Wow, those Mod Pop blocks are really eyecatching! Very nice!
Looking good!!
Beautiful projects, Debbie!
Your mod pop is just stunning. And I'm completely in love with the frame purse!
Your mod pop looks great. I love the purple and black together.
Love the Mod Pop! And I can't wait to see your secret project! :)
Those little purses just keep getting cuter and cuter. Did you get the glue in frame from the same place as the sew-in kind? The mod-pop looks pretty cool!
Love your Mod Pop and your Christmas lap quilt!
I can't stop drooling over your mod pop quilt! I know I said that last time you posted it, but it's just getting better and better! Can't wait to see the final product.

lovely purse and your Mod Pop quilt will be amazing!
I had the needle fall out of my machine while sewing awhile ago. For about two full minutes I thought the damage was much worse & I was really starting to freak out, then I realised parts of my machine hadn't fallen off, it was just in 'needle down' mode :) I was able to put the needle back in and keep sewing. I really can't part with my machine until the end of November, hopefully it can wait that long to go to the shop :)
I'm taking my machine in tomorrow because the screw-head on the screw that tightens/releases your needle broke off and I've been sewing with the same needle for months...oh, the shame! I figured it was time and I'm caught up on bee blocks, so...
LOVE your projects, especially the metal-frame purse! So cute!!!
Great job even with a backup machine! Hope the good machine feels much better soon...
Great looking projects Debbie..I love the color in the Christmas quilt
Love your mod pop blocks! The purples are beautiful!
Your Mod Pop quilt blocks are stunning. I seriously can't wait to see the whole thing. That pattern intimidates me - must be the curves. Great job on yours!
Lol.. Sounds like a rough week equipment wise but your projects look great regardless.
What is that amazing fabric in the frame purse? You still get a lot done, even with technical difficulties!
As always, so many beautiful projects - love your embroidered kitty! So handy to have a second sewing machine too.
Looks like lots of progress to me! I am always amazed at how much you get done and the fantastic diversity of your projects! More great inspiration from your blog, thank you!
Your list of upcoming projects is impressive! I would love to do the metro link some day ; )
You have the best projects and now tuned up machines too.
Love the new frame pouch! Your mod pop quilt is going to be great too!
