There she is....

...Miss America!

Jo has arrived and has already earned her keep by quilting 3 pillow cover tops.
She is amazing! I don't know how I lasted this long with Bernie. No offense to her. She was born before machine quilting was even a twinkle in anyone's eye, and really did well considering that fact.
All I can say about Jo is, "WOW!".
While I had the tripod up in the workroom I thought I'd take a couple of photos.
I have received questions about how I manage to be such a quick responder to comments and emails. Well...

...my sewing machine and my computer are practically attached at the hip.
A parting shot - my so-called inspiration board. There's clearly not much inspiration going on around here at the moment.

Have great weekend everyone! (I'll be quilting)

    Oh dear Juki. At one of my many jobs I operated a Juki buttonhole machine. I even have a nickname, still in use by some,from that time: Juli-Sue! Good thing I didn't include that in my blog's name.

    Could you give me her reference, please? I would like to buy a new sewing machine that can quilt!
    Thank you.
