Hello All

Well, I guess I have been pretty quite for the last year. Hmmm! Time really flys. Now I'm back and waiting for the arrival of Christopher Nejman's new CD book Celebrity Bags. You all know what a fan I am of him. I learned sooo many new techniques from his Pillow Book and his teachings, that I couldn't believe after all my years of sewing, there was that much new stuff to learn.

After the excitement of winning the Punching Pillow contest, it was sort of a let down not to go on with the pillow classes which were over and I missed them. I made a few more pillows and then discovered with my Grandboys there was World of Warcraft. (have 2 level 80's) lol. So this is how I passed the time waiting for Christopher's book. I agree, not very productive, but who knew and I can speak a whole new language with my Grandboys now. :)

NOW, Christophers CD book is in the mail..yeah and the machines are rearranged, dusted and ready to go. I can not wait to get my hands on it. It even has some new embroidery design included. Come on mailman.

First Ellegante2 Embroidery

Goodness, it's been awhile, with all the excitement of having a new machine and reading manuals and workbook; I finally have produced my first embroidery on my Baby Lock Ellegante. I played with some little things and then said go for it on the real thing. Of course, I made pillow!

I found the Ellegante to be very user friendly and it sews like a dream. I love using it. Of course there is a new machine on the horizone...the Ellisimo. I'm just going to look when it comes out this fall. Tee Hee
