Fabric + Chocolate = Happiness

Quilt Tutorials and Fabric Creations - Quilting In The Rain - Fabric + Chocolate = HappinessChocolates while sewing…could I ask for more?! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

On a different note, I’m going to be traveling this week for work which means less time to sew. :*( However, in a hurry to cram some last minute sewing therapy before my trip I managed to start two new projects. It’s probably wise to stick to one project at a time as to not get overwhelmed, but I couldn’t choose which fabrics to use first so I did both. Problem solved!

Anyway, I won’t tell you what these projects are until I’m completely done. But I will give you a glimpse or two. Here’s the first one:

I got to use my new walking foot and quilted some random and fun straight stitching. This is the first time I’ve ever used a walking foot…and i LOVE it. Should have gotten one sooner.

That’s it for now. Not sure when I’ll be able to do my next post…but until then, happy quilting! 🙂

    Hi Jera, I Have just discovered your blog today and am really enjoying looking at your work.
    I noticed your machine looks like a Semi-Industrial machine, AND in 1 of your posts (can't find it again at the mo), I read about you just getting a walking foot.
    Is it to fit this machine or do you have another one that the walking foot fits on.
    May I email you in person to talk about this?
    cindyw6621@yahoo.com.au
    Very interested…..
