Yesterday was Gran day with Tayla. After the initial cry, because mummy left, it was play time, followed by a bath.
Sophie wanted to see what all the squealing was about. Amazing how a nice warm bath makes a little one ready for bed.
I picked up my new machine on Monday and was itching to get into the sewing room and play.
Before I could do that I needed to get myself a new chair. What a difference it makes, being comfortable and being at the right height.
Then it was time for some serious stitching. I love the dual feed, it makes piecing a dream, and the 1/4 inch foot makes a huge difference to having nice accurate seams and well measured blocks.
Only a couple of these left to do, and then I can think about putting them together.
I haven't played with any of the other features on the machine yet, I wanted to make a start on these blocks that have been sitting for almost a year. Plenty of time for checking out all the features when I actually need to use them.
Happy Stitching.
Linda.

It looks like all your hard work on the job has paid off. Great that you have a new sewing machine! I'm very happy for you, and will live vicariously as I continue to sew with my 38 year-old Bernina. Love seeing how Tayla has grown. What a cute head of hair.
What a bright quilt to work on.
Sweet, sweet Tayla is growing like a dandelion.
Congrats on your new 'toy' - enjoy this little jewel.
Tayla is so cute and I know she has fun with her Gran, don't they grow to fast.

She really is lovely!! What a doll...I am glad you have had some fun quilting time, your blocks look wonderful!
I have an older version of this machine and love mine.
