Mini Quilt Swap

Received my Mini Quilt block today. It is from a BOM called Shabby Roses. The blog is Jenny of ELEFANTZ. Here is the photo of the Mini Quilt. The little quilt is beautiful. It must have taken many hours of work. Thanks Linda.

HUSQVARNA VIKING 400

Just purchased a Viking 400 on ebay. I have a 1+ but am not too crazy about it. The new machine was said to have a couple of things missing which I purchased from my favorite Sewing Machine parts dealer. He is great and has so many machine parts for every kind of machine. http://sewingmachine221sale.bizland.com/store/index.html
