Today I finished my "Be Attitudes" quilt top. I took the advice of my good friend, Sherri, and made the border a scappy one, using all of the border prints that came with the kit. I only want to put one border on the quilt, but they give you four different fabrics to put four borders on. I didn't want it to be too big to put on the wall, so I went with one border in all colors. I am in the process of putting together my quilt back, using a lot of different fabrics again. You know me and not being able to throw away scraps...
I also had the chance to head into Vegas to pick up my youngest daughter and had some free time to check out the sewing machine store that Sherri sent me to. I ended up putting $200 down on this lovely machine, a Janome DC3050, which I will make payments on until the end of August...then it is mine, all mine! Just in time for all of my Christmas projects to get done. Yay me again!!
Vicki...your quilt top looks great!!! And a new Janome...you're going to love it!!! Yes, perfect timing for Christmas!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I've been waiting to see the finished project. Well...I guess it's not REALLY finished yet, but it looks great.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you'll have a new machine. When someone has "loved" their machine as much as you have...you are very deserving.
I'm so happy for you! You deserve more than anyone! You've definitly put in your time with the old one...I guess they aren't like Bosch's...they don't last forever!
ReplyDeletecongrat on both!! I know a lot of people with Janomes and love them...wise choice!! Your quilt looks fantastic! I made one...it's still at the quilters! *sigh*
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!!!!! Vicki you did such a super job on that. I'm jealous about the sewing machine! I still don't have one--how sad is that. I told Chad that's all I want for Christmas this year.
ReplyDeletemom, will that machine do quilting like you wanted?
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I love Nancy Halvorsen's patterns and color choices! Good luck, and have fun with your new machine!
ReplyDeleteI am so proud for this finish for you! Great job, lovely quilt top. I made it too, and need to get it quilted now.
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the cutest quilts I have ever seen!! Nice work!!
ReplyDeleteI have the pattern for the Be Attitude quilt - just not loving the idea of lots of little pieces!!! And also - you need to let me know how much you are paying to get your quilts quilted. I have a few of my own. anncp1595@gmail.com
