I spent my evening working on this new project before I packed her up into the car for tomorrow morning. I'm a little sad about losing her for 1-2 weeks. I do have my old machine as a back-up. I might have to pull it out while she is away.
I was hoping to get farther along on this project.. I wanted to get a bit more work done so I could see how it was actually going to come together. I ran out of time. So far I just have 4" strips sewn to sashing. It will have to wait.
I am very excited to get my machine running perfectly again. I have lots of things coming up. In addition to my current WIP's I have these fun projects in the next few months:
- I've been accepted into the Doll Quilt Swap 10 and will receive my swap partner any day now. I'm excited to try it out.
- I should get my swap partner for the Spicing up the Kitchen Swap any day now.
- Finally, I have decided to participate in the Modern Quilt Guild Project Modern Challenge. My package from Fabric Shack should arrive also any day now so I can get started. Sorry, but that is one that I won't be posting about on my blog. Winners aren't announced until April, so you'll just have to wait.
I will be a fun couple months.

How often do you send your machine in for a "spa treatment?" I've always wondered if that's something I should be doing...
I think my machine needs to join yours at the spa...is that some Anna Maria Horner I spy for the psiquilt quilt along?? Love love love.
I really need to give my machine a good cleaning. A spa treatment would be nice too. I'm excited to see what you'll come up with for the DQS and the MQG challenge! I'm sure they'll be amazing.
I *just* got Bernie back from the spa! I don't have a backup (just a serger) so I was going squirrelly! Did a fair bit of cutting, though, which is good. Happy to get back to stitching tonight so my Bee members don't revolt and boot me out!!
Mine's way overdue for a tune-up, mainly because I can't stand the thought of losing her for that long! I'll probably wait until she breaks down in the middle of an important project, like last time. : )
At my repair shop you can often explain that your machine is going to be GREATLY missed and you are in the middle of a project and would be thrilled to have it back early. This usually works wonders--I got my pfaff serviced this summer in 2 days instead of a week by pleading for a little middle-of-a-project-please-help love! :)
