waverunner

I bought a new machine (toy) this weekend.
Isn't she beautiful?
It doesn't look like she's ever been used!
Her inauguration quilt is thoroughly
MODERN....
I joined a quiltalong with Victoria who said this
quilt was easy...
so I thought I'd give it a try!

The inspiration fabric.

One quilt block.


A whole bunch of quilt blocks!
And my new machine just hummed along.
She had been waiting for years to make a quilt...
I just RUSHED her into the future.
Hope she wasn't too sad that the first quilt wasn't a classic..
You know...You don't know what sewing machines
dream about when they're not busy.
I bet she WASN'T dreaming about the
waverunner quilt I've got her working on!!!

  3. How exciting! You're sure to love your new featherweight! It's absolutely the BEST for piecing. I have had mine for just 2 years and use it so often. The little girl makes such nice seams and the big girl sewing machine takes care of the quilting! My friend just gave me a second featherweight this weekend and it is to be gifted to my Mom who has been searching for one since the day I got mine! My mom is going to be so surprised!

  5. What a find! A real beauty. There are certainly advantages to living in a populated area. You have a chance of finding gems like this. (Okay, I'm jealous. A little. A lot. A whole lot.) ENJOY!
