Lori I quit making clothes when I started quilting. and my wardrobe suffered. All money spent on fabric. I wish I had kept my first 830 Bernina, but sold it and got a 1230. Actually had one on loan from Bernina too because I had written a book and traveled and taught (back in the early 90’s. When I started Photoshoping quilting took a back seat. Nearly moved the machine to the basement. (OMG, how dare I?)
Sounds like heresy to me–the Bernina downgraded to the basement. I do agree, however-both quilting and photoshop are jealous mistresses-demanding a great deal of time and attention!
Ambitious! Like nancyjean, I love the pincushion photo! I started sewing when I was pregnant when the fit in the shoulders was the main focus…then it just grew from there…and so did the fabric stash!
I love your header … so colourful!! What a beautiful 5 facts … stunning work, nicely done! Thanks for sharing. I love quilting too … but photography takes up my creative bursts and my fabric cupboard sits waiting to … hmm, be photographed!!
Enjoy your weekend.
oh my… the photos… and how i envy you…. always wished I could sew… even bought a ‘good’ machine thinking that would help… the most of done is fun stitches on paper, that I turned into photoshop brushes. 🙂 lol
1. I doodle on fabric.
2. I took up quilting while on bedrest when I was expecting twins.
3. My mother and two of my sisters are also enthusiastic quilters.
4. I have three Bernina sewing machines.
5. I have more than 20 works in progress…

Do you still do garment sewing? I gave it up –I like quilting better, no need for fittings…

What a cool idea-photoshop brushes—are you interested in joining forces–I will sew a few designs–you make brushes?

Between the 3 sewing machines and 20 works in progress, I hope you have a sewing room!

I am lucky enough to have a sewing room-I can close the door and walk away from the mess!

These are great facts, and you are a lovely quilter. But Three Berninas?
