Bathrobe monogram finished

Now I truly am done with Jim’s bathrobe, and ready to wrap it up for Christmas!  I love working with fleece, it embroiders so beautifully!

I used my Bernina embroidery software to build this monogram, such fun and very easy to do.

Not only did I not end up in New Orleans this week, neither did Jim or the RV!  Funny how things work out.  We went ahead and winterized it instead of heating it, good thing too as it got darn cold here last night, around 17 degrees when I got up!

I took out some chicken breasts for dinner tonight… and that’s as far as I’ve gotten, no idea what I’m going to make, but I guess I better figure it out as it’s four o’clock now!

Pinwheel Party Block Four

I finished block four of the Pinwheel Party sew along.  I am going to have do a baby quilt with pinwheels, I am having so much fun with these!

Before I forget, I’ve added a “Search” feature to my website, the link is at the top of the page next to the “Contact Me” link.  Thanks Judy, for pointing out that I didn’t have a search feature!

Speaking of Judy, I’ve decided what pattern I’m going to use for that batch of fabrics I pulled out of the closet this morning.

Have you seen her new book, “Weekend Quilts”?  I’m going to use the “Lacey Lou” pattern.  I’ll be swapping the outside purple border with my striped fabric, and the rest of the dark purple with my red fabric, and then filling in with the other fabrics from my little selection.  I think it’s the perfect pattern for these fabrics!

And last, most of you know I use a Mac computer, and have happily run EQ6 and my Bernina embroidery software via Fusion for the past two years.  I’d tried Parallels and didn’t like it as well.  However, with version 5 having been out for a just a bit now, I decided to give the free trial a whirl.  WOW!  It’s now MUCH faster than Fusion, I’m switching!
