Good 'Ol Chicago!

Well the bag I showed you last week made it's trip with me last weekend! The bag was the perfect carry on; it fit my iPad, book, water bottle, socks (cuz my feet always get cold) and phone!

In case I failed to mention, my sister and I flew out to Chicago for a 2 day Bernina E16 training. That is the multi needle embroidery machine we carry at our family shop. The training was wonderful, and my sister and I both came back wanting to start spending nights at the shop just to embroider with the machine!

We made a few projects (including a baseball cap) while we were at the Bernina Creative Center, the building that houses all of the training E16 machines. We also got to peak at the optional table you can get for the E16, which is beautiful and has two drawers plus a storage compartment for the machines hoops.

  

BUT, the best part for me was getting the sneak preview of the Bernina Q-Matic set up! :) The screen on that baby.. OH MY! It is going to be awesome - more photos and info to come once we get to Bernina University in July!!



Just being in that room with all of those Q24's on frames made me want to quilt SO BAD! Lucky for me, I start teaching Free Motion Quilting Series tonight at the shop, so at least I'll get to talk about quilting even if I'm not actually quilting!

Hope you all are getting some time to sew, or quilt or just sit in your sewing room and look at all your pretty pretty fabric!

Happy Sewing,
Enjoli (and Gertrude)
