Hey there! How was your Thanksgiving? I hope it was filled with great people and wonderful food. Mine was. I finished my quilt from "Little Bits Quilting Bee" today. Quilted, Bound and currently in the wash.
It was even able to get the fluffy cat inspection of approval before being tossed in the wash. I will rest better knowing Ike approves of this quilt. It was a blast to quilt that is for sure.
I did have some drama with the binding....my lovely Bernina 820 is worse than before I took it to the shop to be repaired. I am so furious....but I am trying to let it go and be upbeat about driving 8 hours to have it re-repaired. Anyway, instead of tossing the Bernina out the window, I brought out one of my sweet old faithfuls. No drama whatsoever with sweet Snookie (this featherweight was made in New Jersey and has been passed around quite a bit before winding up in my house). She did the deed to perfection. They don't make them like they used to, huh? My other Featherweight (Lady Caroline) is getting her beauty rest for a class I am teaching on Sunday.
OK, so if you have read this far, let me tell you who the winner is for the Book "Little Bits Quilting Bee"
#10 - Brenis!!!! You luck duck. I have sent you and email, just send me your address and the book will be on it's way.
xo,
Tia

I love the quilting, but the double loop on the border is wonderful.
I love the quilt.
You probably don't want to talk about it but what's up with the 820?
I am finding that my machines have different strengths and weaknesses. The 820 is my quilting machine. The featherweight is queen of tiny piecing.
I hope things settle out.
