Wheeze... gasp!
Wednesday, September 21, 2011 at 6:30AM I’m hyperventilating… I keep looking over at my empty sewing cabinet where my Bernina 830 should be, and it’s not! I love all of my machines, but the 830 is the one I must have… its the machine that no matter what I want to create, I know it can do it! No limitations! I am having serious withdrawal symptoms, ack!
;)
Pathetic huh? But Jim’s away and I tend to get all wrapped up in my little creative world when I’m alone! I was doing just fine on my darling little 630 until this morning, when I finished (I think!) piecing my little lonestar.
Do I want to do some appliqué in the setting corners? Embroidery? Leave it alone and let the quilting shine?
Or maybe I should add more borders! I love borders. To me they make a quilt. Right now, my wall hanging measures 32.5 inches square, which is about perfect for the wall, so maybe I’ll stop there, and decide if I want to embellish it.
Oh before I forget, Sandy asked what method I use for the diamonds. I cheat! My friend Dee taught me the “flip, fuse and sew” method of doing these lonestars. Quiltsmart make the fusible interfacing. Very easy!
And if anyone is interested, I uploaded my EQ7 project file for this, you can fiind it at the bottom of my free EQ projects page.

This is so pretty! Since the first day I found your blog I have loved loved loved your fabric choices. I think at the time you were doing something with "Chocolat", my all time fav (so far anyway lol). Maybe once it gets cold this will give me the umph I need to finally learn how to use my EQ7!
Me, too...sigh... I gotta learn EQ7...seeing as I had EQ4, EQ5, EQ6.... such a slacker!!
Love the borders. I think they make the quilt. The colors are great also.

My 830 has been gone for six, count 'em, six weeks and I'm so in withdrawal!!! Apparently there were some new parts to put on and now my tech can't get the tension right. He's wondering if the new parts were defective. He's about gone crazy and I'm right behind him!! I want my baby back!! I'm about ready to buy a new one!!!
CJ, IMHO the quilt is great as is. The star is lovely, as well as the boarders. I know you can find the exact right quilting design for it. Diane in CT
Beautiful as usual CJ :) I hope you get your baby back soon. Did you use a specific fabric line for this? It's gorgeous. Hope you have a great weekend!
