I've
been sewing up a storm the past few weeks. Annie is running smoothly
and stitching perfectly. This quilt is the first that I've pieced on
her and I don't know why I didn't get a Featherweight before now.
The
vintage look of chimney sweep blocks in these rich colors says autumn
is near. Green, coral, wine and teal prints are lovely with tan and
black accents.
Hearth & Home is 42” x 52” size. I added the strip border and quilted a 2” straight stitch grid in light gold thread. I did the quilting with my Janome since she has a larger sewing area.
I'm
happy to have choices of several machines to do my sewing. Annie
(Singer 221) is my new favorite for piecing, with Rockette (Singer
500A) close behind. Janelle (Janome MC9450) has the electronics and
wide bed for quilting, with automatic threading and cutting a huge
bonus. I try to use them often enough so that they stay in good
shape. After all, I sew nearly every day.
