First Project

Quilter's Quest specially design fabric Table Runner
This was inspired by the table runner at Jenny Byer in VA.


This is the center square. The special fabric depicts sites around Washington DC.









Here is the completed top. I couldn't believe how fast and easy it was to put together. Now I just have to figure out what fabric I want to use for the back and how I want to quilt it. Decisions, decisions, decisions. I also need some time to play. To bad I am sick...

First attempts with new machine

I finally got my new machine and I am off! Back in November friends and I went on the Maryland and N. Virginia Quilters Quest. I loaded up on fat quarters and made a list of projects I wanted to do. Only problem is my machine is pretty old and not working right. About two weeks after the quest I decided on a Bernina 630E. I've only had it since Tuesday, but I've made a table runner top, cell phone/ mp3 holder and a purse. I got to play a little bit with the built in lettering too. I've already bought more fabric for more projects which will become Christmas presents. Since Thursday I've been sick, so I haven't played too much :(
