Hey quilter's...It's finally Friday and National Sewing Machine Day! Woohoo...my kind of day! I'm speding my day sewing w/ a new collection from Lumin Fabrics and design that I'll be sharing soon. I love it when fabric inspires creativity and your thread compliments the design too. I love Aurifil 50# thread 3910. It's variegated and goes perfectly with the Batik hues. I know sewing machines have come a long way but one thing that hasn't changed is our love of creating and sharing gifts with loved ones. I will say that you don't have to spend a lot of money either. I recently purchased a Brother sewing/quilting machine to use when traveling or quilt meetings but it's been a blast and I used it everyday! So don't let the price of a sewing machine scare you. We all love to create and the sewing industry is full of inspiration to spark your creativity. Technology has made crafting and sewing more fun-ctional as I like to say & affordable. Products are made with better quality and we can even design...create on software. I can only imagine my grandmother designing on my EQ8. She would have been awesome. She was all about using fabrics from worn clothes and sewing for what was needed. A quilt in her day was used...not put on a shelf or displayed. "Guilty as charged." But...the ones I display are antiques ones that I've collected and cherish. So whatever you do today...or this weekend....take a moment to sit...sew...and make something for you or a loved one. I mean...it's a National Day...we need to honor it! ;-) I thank y'all so much for following and talk soon!
Blessed Quilting from My Home to Yours,
