Oh I am so excited...!!! I finally got my new sewing machine!!! Hubby gave it to me early for Christmas because I was moping around one day, not feeling well at all, and I suppose he took mercy on me and wanted to cheer me up. Boy, did he ever!!! He bought me a Brother SQ9050 that will both sew and quilt, and that is just perfect for what I was wanting...It literally has hundreds of different stitches that you can change to with the touch of a button, and all of the attachments that came with it, and it embroideries and does free motion stitching, and all kinds of cool stuff! Now I just have to learn how to use it...I finally figured out the automatic needle threader part, and I started playing around on a piece of fabric, and the machine is magical, I'm telling you!!! I am going to use it until the day I die...it's got that many features!. So-In honor of getting my machine, I have a book I would just love to give away for a drawing on my blog here. It is listed on Amazon, and somehow I ended up with two of them....

I have also made some new brooches...here are the newest items along with a new journal page:
Well, that is it for me tonight...it is now 4am and I need to get some sleep I suppose....
Happy creating!

Hi Laura,
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the new pins and that journal page is as gorgeous as!
Please don't include me in the draw for the book - although it is wonderful, I know me and it would just sit on the shelf and I would never get round to doing anything from it, so give it to someone who would use it!
Catch up with you Tuesday!
Thank you Helen, and that is so generous of you...I will leave you out of the drawing for the book, but I sure hope to see you Tuesday! I finally got my voice back!!!
ReplyDeleteLaura, congrats on the new sewing machine. Your brooches and journal page are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific Christmas present! What I wouldn't do for a machine that threads itself! Have fun exploring all the options.
ReplyDeleteI love the heart pins.
Thank you Cherie and Eileen! I really enjoyed making the brooches and painting the journal cover, now just have to decide which one to put it on! And I am still working on figuring out my new sewing machine Eileen, lol!!!!
