Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement! I am hoping to get back at this blogging thing.. and the really cool thing is this..
My sweet 5 year old came up to me after dinner the other night and said, "Mommy, can you teach me to sew?" I said, "Heck yes I can!" Do you know what that means?
It means that I can sew AND spend time with my girl! (The twins are a bit young still.. and a bit too interested in poking each other with pins to participate!) And if I get to sew, I actually have something to blog about!
So, in an attempt to catch you all up on what's been happening over here..
First, it is true that Gertrude is spending some time at Grammy's house! She was having some withdrawals not getting much sewing time and Grammy needed her embroidery capabilities!
Second, I spent three days in Chicago at the Bernina Creative Center the second week of April getting to play on the NEW Bernina Q24 Longarm! IT WAS AMAZING!
 |
| Most wonderful room in the Creative Center! Five frames with 10 Q24s! |
 |
| Main "stitch" menu |
 |
| "Bobbin detection" - let's you know when you're close to running out! |
 |
| It's true.. I do love quilting! |
 |
| Adjusting SPI (Stitches Per Inch) |
 |
| So much Bernina LOVE! |
And Last, but SO cool, my sweet Alia and I made her first sewing project (of which she did almost all the sewing), a pillow case with some pink Frozen flannel!
 |
| She was SO proud! |
I hope this new development with my oldest daughter will allow many hours of sewing fun with her and I , as well as more opportunity to blog about the adventures that we embark upon. And one of these days, I will have to break the news to Grammy that Gertrude will have to return home!
Happy Sewing,
Enjoli (and in spirit Gertrude!)
