Another one bites the dust...

green_martha... by which I mean yet another needle. So far I've broken four machine needles and three hand needles on the quilted outfit. The hand needles kinda baffle me, but then I've switched to newer, thinner and longer needles lately, they tend to bend after a few days, and snap after some more hard work. Tonight I decided the needle breaking plus me being unable to rethread the machine in less than three seconds meants I needed a break from sewing and some sleep.
You see, I'm trying my hardest to get this finished before the birth. And to get pictures, of course. Pictures need to happen before the In-Laws come, and besides, the Home Geek is truly and utterly incapable of taking good pictures. If I tell him to point and shoot at THIS detail he might get it. But managing something visually pleasing... no way. So I need to have this done when the Darkstones come, on Wednesday. I'm kinda crushed for time.
The back is quilted and sewn together, I have about one third of the eyelets done. One of the front pieces is quilted, the other I'm about halfway through. I have prepared two strips of fabric for fringe I need to make. I think it's doable, if Heimlich lets me. He's been a little bit jealous when I try to sit at the machine lately. Handsewing on the couch is mostly okay, though, and noise doesn't bother him during his nap. I think I can maybe possibly tentatively get it done on time.
