New (ish) sewing machine


Today dh brought home my new (second hand) HusqvarnaViking Designer 1 sewing/embroidery machine. oh boy, is it nice! Very smooth to sew on. I don't think anybody will be getting dinner in our house tonight!

Over the next few weeks I will post pictures of my completed projects and WISPS. I LOVE looking at everyone else's pics on their blogs, so started my own to share mine.
The main picture at the top of the blog is 'Cinnamon Pie' done in flannels, purchased as a kit from Kim at http://www.honeysucklecottage.com.au It is absolutely gorgeous. It's not finished yet, needs basting (not looking forward to this - my first big baste) and quilting.

A "new-to-you" sewing machine! I laughed as I read about dinner or should I say - dinner, not!

So glad you've got your blog going.

Welcoming Love, *karendianne.

Hi Bec, & welcome to the fun of blogland! You will have the most wonderful time making friends from all over the world. Lovely to have another Aussie girl to 'talk' to. I share your discouragement with quilting - it is my least facourite part of the whole process. I look forward to seeing your stitching projects. Truly Scrumptious made with Simplicity will be just stunning. Haven't been able to find any Simplicity in our stores yet . Best wishes, Bloom.
