Quilting Gallery Spring Mini Quilt

Here is a photo of the mini quilt I made for the swap. It went to Ros in the United Kingdom. It was my first try at lots of applique and quilting anything but stitch in the ditch.

Working on Double Wedding Ring

My guild held Quilt Camp a couple of weeks ago. We had a class on the QuiltSmart method of making a Double Wedding Ring. As a starter, I am doing a table runner. Hope to finish it this week and post a photo. It is such an easy method using a template and fusible interfacing that is marked with the arc.

I cannot believe it!!

Husqvarna Viking has discontinued parts on some of their machines. I just bought a Viking 400 with 1 of the thread door hinges missing. My Sewing Machine Guy tells me that the part is no longer available. What are they thinking? I guess they want people to ditch their old machines and buy new ones.

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
