Happy Holidays!!

I wanted to update because I have my new machine here.  That is pretty much why I have been happily working away and not sharing as much.  I apologize but it has just been a really great time and not to mention the school break which is great and we are only two days in.  I love the kids being home and just doing what we want each day.

Before, I was worried how I would feel rearranging things and adding the big frame and machine but... I actually really like my sewing room now.  I was worried but it is really cozy and super organized so I don't have too much trouble getting everything finished. Plus I love the new addition.  It is the best thing ever.

(usually there is not big bins of fabric on the floor they are in the armoire, but you get the idea)


Here is the my new Long Arm Quilting Machine.  I really really love it.  I have quilted seven quilts so far with my machine.  Also, I have one ready loaded on the frame right now.  I actually use the frame all the time already to set projects on and set my cutting mat on it and out of the way of my work table.  This is it rolled out and ready to use but it stores nicely against the wall when I am not using it.

I have a bunch of new patterns that I am working on that will be released in January so sewing has consumed my life right now.  It is a relaxing consumption though.  I am sewing and enjoying the kids and my family.  Happy Holidays and I hope you all enjoy the break like I will!!

(the long-arm out and ready to use and the piano fits!!, and of course the wonderful-not-movable-safe... I've nicknamed it the Quilt Hanger)

PS - I will post pictures and fun stuff over the next two weeks.  I promise.

Congrats on your new machine...I really really have to think about getting one! My friend who quilts for me all the time isn't going to be available as much as her husband is retiring and they will be doing more traveling!

That machine looks amazing! I'm glad you got it and that you're having so much fun with it.
