(lots of gray November days make my photos a wee bit dull)
Emmy's Wing-It Quilt is here!
(I feel like I just birthed something.)
Hubs bought me a new sewing machine,
the first new one in 30+ years since my Viking.
It's a Bernina.
It's wonderful.

And I'm having fun learning and exploring all it can do.
Our newest grandbaby was born in September and as is my tradition, I wanted to make a quilt to celebrate her birth. Her mommy asked if I could make this particular quilt pattern "Interwoven"
in Moda's *Just Wing It* fabrics.
Finding the Just Wing It was a little tricky since it is now OOP, but there were a few Etsy sellers that still had charm packs and yardage left for me.
I didn't bind this quilt in the traditional manner.
Instead I made a quilt with no binding according to this tutorial.
I like the clean, modern look of it.
I did some free-motion machine quilting in loop-d-loops.
I have done a very little free-motion quilting, and I am still a novice at it.
But I figure if I don't try, I won't get better.
Emmy won't mind my imperfection.
That's very cool! Yippee for your new sewing machine!
ReplyDeleteHow nice you got a new machine!!! I think that quilt is lovely. I am almost three behind.
ReplyDeleteI love that pattern. I just need to quit hooking and do some quilting. :) I love the backing too. That is so awesome.
I love the sky in your November day. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.
We leave early in the morning, every time my daughter texts, I panic. :)
Oh Yipppee, my girl. I love my Bernina!!!! (even though I was initially reluctant to get a new sewing machine 10 years ago). That thing is a powerhouse and has never let me down!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is lovely and will be treasured, I have no doubt.
So happy for Winging It!

Beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Jody! I love the fun, happy colors in the prints. I was so excited when my 79-year old Aunt and lifetime Bernina user bought a new Viking last month, but now you've switched the other way. Life balances out. For every yin there's a yang. For every Viking there are a million Berninas LOL.
ReplyDeletePretty quilt!!!!

It's a reminder that some creations are so exceptional; they're worth every bit of careful consideration, almost like deciding where to 'spend bill gates money' on something truly extraordinary."
