Time passes swiftly when you have a lot on your plate

I find it hard to believe that almost a week has past since my last post. I've started moving into my new sewing space. I have also gotten 2 new sewing machines and got rid of 1 old one. One of the new is to replace the old one as my portable machine to take to retreats, etc. It a small Brother that should be adequate for basic piecing.

The other machine is a Bernina 770 QE. This machine includes the BSR which is Bernina's stitch regulation foot. My free motion quilting should take a big step forward with this new tool at my disposal.

The journey starts with the first step

Crack the bottle of champagne on the bow - this ship is ready to set sail!

Maybe boating isn't the best metaphor for this journey but at this time of night, that is the best I could come up with.

My first pattern with be included in the December 2015 issue of The Quilt Pattern Magazine. I will tell the story of how I got to this point over the next few posts. Right now it is enough that I have started this blog.
