After stitching sailboats a few weeks ago (see tutorial HERE) and Swirling Stars yesterday (See tutorial HERE), it seemed an anchor quilt was inevitable… I purchased a Bernina 820 several weeks ago (See more HERE), and it has taken a little time to get the setting just where I like them, but I found a…
