Put to the test…

So my new Juki and I decided to try our hand at sewing!! I went through my UFO pile and was delighted to find all the nine patches I made for Amandajean’s Nine-Patch Quilt Along. As you can tell I failed miserably at that task. But, there they were all sweet and pretty, just waiting for me, so out they came.



I used the jelly roll “Berry Delicious” by Moda. I just love this fabric.

I am now in the process of added the white strips to connect the blocks, which will make them into rows.


I am so happy to report that Miss Juki and I are getting along famously!!

    That will be so cute! I love the scrappy feel! That'll be a fun project for your machine.

    Do you name your machines?

    The only kind of spam I like is sauteed in a pan (low sodium kind)...LOL!

    I made a couple quilts for Amandajean's quilt along. It was fun making all those 9 patches. Yours is going to look beautiful I'm sure. It's great to hear you and Miss Juki are getting along well.

    I love 9 patch and 4 patch. There is something lovely about squares. These will be great. Glad the Juki is working out.

    I was looking online on ebay about those machines...I just love the space you have to quilt a quilt....and they are not too expensive either.

    glad you like your machine!
