Hello gentle readers, I am very happy to tell you that my first book “Ten Skill-Building Projects for Bernina V7” has been published. Yesterday’s launch was a nice start with it ending up the day and starting today as #1 New Release in Embroidery on Amazon, and just recently was listed as #1 New Release in Sewing on Amazon!  I can only guess that they don’t have very many releases in those two categories, but I will be happy to celebrate this as a successful release.

So here’s the link:  Ten Skill-Building Projects for Bernina V7  I am also working on a similar book for V8.

This is a really nice ending to the week.  I caught a beast of a cold on or about New Year’s Eve, and only recently began to feel like a normal human being again, though I still have the occasional cough.  Sew now that I am back to working level human I am launching into the new projects I listed in my last blog.  Today I have been working on my bed quilt project.  It’s a pretty applique quilt using a Sue Nickels pattern, something entirely out of my usual flower box.  ? This is my low stress level project for the first part of 2019 and I am looking forward to having this pretty quilt on my bed.

While I was battling the cold, I painted the mountainous background of my train quilt and sent the design to Fabrics on Demand for a full sized printout (48 x 35.5 inches) on cotton.  So I didn’t entirely lose the days I was sick.  LOL

I hope you are all having a good launch to your 2019.  I would love to hear from you about what you are working on.

Sew happy everyone!  Encourage your family and friends and give them all a lot of love.
