While I was happily quilting the above quilt, Bernie, my beautiful Bernie, started to make squeaking noises. I have no photos of Bernie. (Note to self: Must take a photo of Bernie.) She is my wonderful sewing machine… a Bernina Virtuosa QE 153. I’ve had her for three years now, and she hasn’t been serviced once.. except for me oiling her regularly and cleaning out her fluff. So, it seems like she is telling me she needs a little more attention. Which is a problem since the closest Bernina dealer is a two or three hour drive from here. Sigh…. I will have to call and make an appointment.

In the meantime, I will have to use Ellie Elna, which I gave to Elizabeth. I tried to find a quarter inch foot for her today, but no luck. I tried a Brother one, but that didn’t work. I will have to keep hunting.

Now, the quilt above, is our Jubail Friendship Quilt…… yes, dear friends, we made it over two years ago….. and I am now finally quilting it! I won’t get it done for March, but hopefully it will be an April finished project. Then I need to keep working on the Riyadh one. (The J one was smaller, so I am finishing that first!!)

Four more sleeps till Alice comes!!!!!!!!!
