Well I've been rather busy this week. I learn how to free motion quilt. I'm almost finished my tree wall hanging and got a good start on Splash. This reverse applique thing is pretty cool how it comes together. She has another pattern here:

Celtic pattern

That I might have to look into. I also got addicted to Pintrest this week. There is so much quilting I want to do. But have to realize as I can't do them all. So have to really pick the projects I can realistically work on and complete. Some of the work some of these quilters do is nothing short of amazing. And maybe in different circumstances I could do something like that also. But as much as I like quilting not sure if I could do it all day or not.

Janome is coming out with a new combo embroidery machine tomorrow I'm rather looking forward to seeing it. I'm a sucker for machines and technology. Although happy with what I currently have in my stable of machines it's always nice to look at the new shiny ones.  Particularly the Pfaff Creative Performance. I've always wondered what Pfaff IDT is all about. Now that it's no longer patented everyone has a version of it. From what I hear you can do quilting without a walking foot.

My current fabric addiction is the Northcott Stonehenge collection. My dream is to have two yards of every single one. I don't remember when I've loved a line of fabric more. I'm currently using it for Splash, which was designed with that fabric in mind. And I brought a charm pack and a jellyroll. And found 6 ones on sale for a must have it now price. It's rather expensive so I hunt the internet for sales of it.

There are several different sublines of it. They are all so beautiful. I missed it when it first came out.  I tend to like this kind of fabric more so then prints, like the Moda marbles. And of course all the batik fabrics. Well I've chatted enough.
