WHOOHOOOOO!!! This is the first time in the past seven years that I've been able to attend the PA quilt convention. To celebrate a number of things, this little item hopped into my car with me!!! That's right, just hopped right in! lol!!!! What a different machine. My other machine is a Brother 2001 ULT.
This lovely has the largest embroidery hoop and the greatest capacity to do continuous embroidery; not to mention that free motion embroidery foot! This also has a quilting frame (purchased separately, OF COURSE) lol... especially made for this machine! WOW! Thanking God for yet another blessing, while I figure out how to operate this baby!

Oh, I feel a contest coming on....this baby needs a name!!!

Good day for Ducks!

It's early Sunday morning and the son has to participate in the "Red Mass" celebration of his school's homecoming weekend. I've always said that rainy days are "GOOD DAYS FOR DUCKS". Actually in this instance, it's canadian geese. As we drove onto the school campus, we noticed a large amount of geese on the grounds... they are so cute. It is interesting how they walk in the street and as soon as they hear vehicles, they immediately head for the grassy areas. It took a couple drives around the driveway to take a couple pictures and the third time I caused them to move off the street, they began to protest loudly!!! lol....just like some humans I know! Thank you Lord for this beautiful rainy day!

String Quilt

String Quilt .... quilt as you go...sew along with my online friends has come to a halt. There isn't enough fabric for binding the rows! Anyhoo, this is a very easy way to finish a quilt with the quickness! I really enjoyed it so far. Guess this calls for a FABRIC run...lol!  It was lovely to talk and sew with other members of our group as we chatted via the webcam and such.  I can hardly wrap my head around the technology available to us today!  Khristina in her lovely "owl" PJs - all the way from Australia; Sharon in New Zealand; Kath across the US as well as Wilma  out west!  Oh, let's not forget Dianne, right here in my city...lol!  What fun!  Diana in Australia and...and  where is Naomi?  lol!   Marilyn created a beauty out in California!  More updates later!
