My First Pillow

Finished!!!
Today I finished my first pillow for the FMQ Challenge.  And it has been a bit of a challenge the last couple of days. 

First my Bernina decided to let me know it needed attention.  A few drops of oil later and it was humming right along.  That is until my thread started giving me fits.  Sewing right along then up pops a loop, thread shreds and breaks.  Problem the cone I was using had been wound wrong.  A phone call to Superior Threads and a new cone is on the way.  Terrific customer service. 

In the meantime I decided to remedy the problem by winding a bobbin and using that in the needle.  This works fine as long as your bobbin is wound very smooth and even.

Anyway to see the finished piece check out the Pillow Talk tab above.

Have a great day.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year
Not being one for resolutions that I probably won't keep anyway I thought I would try at least one new challenge a month this year.

So I have decided to join the quiltshopgal.com Free Motion Quilt challenge for January.
It started on Jan. 1.
