Early Christmas


Christmas came early for me this year. My dear husband, bought me a beautiful sewing machine. It is a Viking Sapphire. It was a classroom machine at the local quilting shop. I actually used it during my class one day....my poor old yard sale Singer just doesn't even compare to this machine. I was so excited to come home one day and see it setting on our kitchen table, Dereck just couldn't wait until Christmas to give it to me. :)


This is my second completed quilt. Yes, it is the same pattern as the last quilt but I decided that I needed to practice again with a pattern I was familar with. This quilt is flannel which presented a new set of challenges because I found out rather quickly that flannel stretches!
