Went to the HMQS (Home Machine Quilt Show) that they
have annually yesterday. It was so fun! Bought tons
of stuff that I probably shouldn't have, but thats
alright. You only live once, right?
Tons of quilts on display for the show, I think this is the most they have ever had. This was the winner of them all. I mean they give out a lot of awards, but this one I believe won the first place. It is nothing but a whole cloth quilt. Which means that the entire quilt is just a huge quilting design. I wish you could have been there to actually see this, it was gorgeous! I believe she said it took her 3 years to do this, can you imagine working on something like this for 3 years straight? I am lucky if I can get a project half finished before I move on to something else.
Now the real kicker of the story about going to the quilt show is that every year they have a drawing of all the attendee's that get their cards stamped and turned in. Every year my Mother-in-law and I sit and hold our breath wishing for our names to be drawn. Well this year, guess who was the lucky winner of a brand spanking new sewing machine?
Thats right, it was ME! I was in so much shock, and almost crying, and thought there was no way that they had just called my name!!! It is a beautiful machine, I had been able to play around with for a little bit today and I am in love. I have always wanted a very expensive top of the line machine, and now I own one!!!!
ok ok I guess I should tell what kind, right? Its a Pfaff Quilt Expression 2048.
Here it is:
I can't tell you how excited I am to own this little beauty!
But I do have to be thankful for the sponsor that donated the machine to the show: Creative Sewing Center without them, I would have never won this wonderful machine. Thank you do very very much!!!
One more picture for ya and then I am outta here......
Can you find the birdie?
Happy Mothers Day for all you Mothers out there.

Monday I took in the
dragon quilt to my co-worker, she showed it to
everyone, and I do mean everyone. I have so many
people interested in my work now, its fantastic.
Hopefully this will drum up some business for me. I
had a new sewing machine on layaway, which I got out
today. I couldn't wait to get home and rip it out the
box. Its a Singer 7468. I couldn't have gotten it at a
better time, I have a 4 day weekend because of the
holiday, so that gives me plenty of time to play
with it and have tons of fun. I have already
stitched out every stitch it will do. I just love
this machine.
Now on to Indie, he is doing so good. he is so happy and loved. He is still afraid of a lot of things, but he is learning that I will not let anything happen to him. I am so happy I got him, he is such a delight and just funny.
Did I mention that I put him in the shower this last weekend. He was totally soaked. He wasn't too sure about it, but the next day I found him soaking his entire body in his water bowl, usually he only gets his head, so I am thinking I sparked something...?
