  • Lori I quit making clothes when I started quilting. and my wardrobe suffered. All money spent on fabric. I wish I had kept my first 830 Bernina, but sold it and got a 1230. Actually had one on loan from Bernina too because I had written a book and traveled and taught (back in the early 90’s. When I started Photoshoping quilting took a back seat. Nearly moved the machine to the basement. (OMG, how dare I?)

    • Sounds like heresy to me–the Bernina downgraded to the basement. I do agree, however-both quilting and photoshop are jealous mistresses-demanding a great deal of time and attention!

  • Ambitious! Like nancyjean, I love the pincushion photo! I started sewing when I was pregnant when the fit in the shoulders was the main focus…then it just grew from there…and so did the fabric stash!
