    Do you sew over a pattern or just totally free hand movement?

    This was just some free hand meandering. Twist here, turn there, that kind of thing. :)

    Thanks everyone for your nice comments! Hopefully someday I'll be able to post pictures of quilts that are half as amazing as ones those of you have made.

    Good job. You'll love that Bernina. I have two and work both of them to death at times.

    I am not a huge fan of table runners but this is so cheery and colourful, I can see a tea service on top and a plate of warm cookies ready to be enjoyed by family and friends. BTW, I love your black and white photo of baby and you.

    I actually don't care for table runners either. My house is waaaay to informal for something like that. But I saw this pattern on Moda's Bakeshop website and I just loved it. I'll find some other way of displaying this.

    I actually have a thread in the Main section that I started last week (or this weekend maybe, can't remember now) asking about the machines I was considering. Here's the link; http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-33831-1.htm

    My husband surprised me Tuesday with a Bernina 440 QE, which was my first choice of machines but it was more money than we were looking to spend. I was looking for a used one and had seen a few but was prepared to be looking for awhile.

    Anyways, there's a lot of good advice on that thread. Good luck in your search!
