Goodies in the mail and a strange sound...

The mailman delivered some goodies today...my WolfSong fabric!  I saw this quilt a few months ago at Fabric Etc. 2  in Elmhurst, Illinois and I had to make it.  But they only had the main panel and one of the complimenting fabrics.  I searched the fabric stores around my house, looked at the huge quilt show in May, and have been searching the internet with no luck.  So awhile back I posted a pic of the panel on my blog and asked if anyone had spotted the fabric anywhere.  Well someone did and I called the quilt shop and it is here today...begging to be cut!

And the best part...the back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(sorry it is sideways)



So excited to get started!


Okay, on to the weird noise....my Singer Quilter's Confidence sewing machine is making a weird noise.  I took everything apart, cleaned it, and it is still there.  I heard it last week but when I cleaned the machine it went away - basically it isn't a permanent noise, it comes and goes but now it won't go away.  It sounds like a crackling - and it seems to be coming from the hand wheel.  When I move the hand wheel to move the needle there is no noise but when I use the pedal to sew fast, I can hear it.   Any suggestions????
