The end of the cushions.

I managed to finish the last two cushions just in the nick of time to take to my granddaughters. I love the ladybugs on these designs of Kellie's.

Yes, I remade the cushion and really, this one isn't a whole lot bigger.

I used a left over flower for the back.

This is the another one from the pattern pack. It's not as busy but I really love it a lot. The machine quilting practice has been good for me and I do believe I'm gaining more confidence since I don't do a lot of it normally.

The three together, what a fun time I've had with these.

I have had some minor glitches with the new Bernina 820 since I got it last June. I had to turn the tension down on every setting and the threader wasn't really impressing me. There has been an update that you can do at home and Mr Q put it on a flashdrive directly from the internet and plugged it in the machine.

It was super easy. I wanted to get a screen shot of the hand with the thumbs up when it was done but I wasn't fast enough. If Bernina did some new background wall papers of quilts or if we could load our own, how neat would that be?

And so the Bernina is now renamed, "my precious" and we are best friends.

I'm off for three weeks in New Zealand on Sunday. I have to get up before dawn, sigh. I'm excited to see my children, grandchildren and two sisters. I'm not sure if I'll be blogging but I think I'll have more time to catch up on some blog reading.

Until next time,  take care,

Janet
