Look at this Lego diorama Miss P built of my sewing room. There I am standing at the longarm. Behind me is my desk with the (very large) computer on it. To the right of my desk is my cutting table. In the background you can see the fabric cabinet and a RED Bernina. It would be pretty cool if I really had a red sewing machine, wouldn't it?
Lucky Girl
In my summer of slow sewing I finally finished a quilt!!
This is a commission quilt for Jennifer Paganelli and uses her upcoming Lucky Girl line of fabrics. It was pretty fun to put together even if there are loads of partial seams. I love the herringbone effect.
I had fun quilting it with loopy loops on the longarm.Finished measurements 60 x 80 inches.I should probably also mention that my oldest son designed this quilt for me. Yeah, he's helpful like that AND he's good with quilt math.I'm working on another more involved quilt from the same fabric line so stay tuned for that!
Welcome to a New Member of the My Sewing Machine Family
Look! I have a new friend in the sewing room. It's a Gammill!!!!
The lovely Tammy from TK Quilting and Designs brought it to my house yesterday. After putting it together she taught me the basics on loading, oiling, threading and getting started with the quilting. She even stitched out a few feathers for me to stitch over, and over, and over. I'm stitching it without thread for practice. It really does help build the muscle memory for making smooth curves and flowing feathers.
We had fun taking turns last night. Look, it's so easy a child can do it! Actually, Miss P was pretty good. She stitched out an awesome swirly border and a mermaid!
D tried the pantograph set up.
We filled up our practice quilt but didn't want to stop to load more fabric so we just kept stitching.I want to quilt all the things!
I think it might be time to load something new. I'll have to make a quick top... unless someone else has a quilt I can play on. Anyone?
