I don't really have anything clever for my first blog post, so I guess I will just start by saying thank you for visiting! This is where I sew. Actually it is just a small snippet of my table due to some overwhelming "clutter" in the area. More posts on my sewing space in the future. My husband bought me this dream of a sewing machine early this year. It is the Laura Ashley limited addition Brother NX-2000. It has so many wonderful features I'll share in the upcoming times. Quilting is definitely more enjoyable on this machine.
And since we all love pictures of WIP, here is a recent one. I am finally making myself a Christmas quilt. I say I am going to every year and then I have too many gifts going so I started this one early. The rows are all sewn together waiting to be stitched in to the completed top. But for now I have a few last minute gifts to make!
This is a value quilt. The fabric is Moda Blitzen with a few scraps thrown in. There are so many good tutorials around, but I was inspired by this one over at Sew Katie Did. Check it out! She gives a great explanation of how to organize your light, medium, and dark prints. This one below is another example using zigzags, however I am going with the diamond arrangement for this quilt.
