My new toy

 My new Janome Horizon. I so like this machine.

Tommy Fitzsimmons keeps raving about the Janome

So I went to Laporte and checked it out. I went there

to get my Viking fixed and played with this machine

while I waited.(yes a repairman that fixes it while you wait)

I went back home and had the brillant thought maybe

 he would trade. He does and gave me a great price,

now to learn a new machine. No more snarls on

 the back of my quilts. Here is my design board with

3 new landscaped quilts blocked in. Yesterday I

stitched the skies on them. Today I will start on

backgrounds. I hate to change thread so I do

an assembly line process on the base than

start adding features later. 3 days with no

appointments so plenty of time in the studio.

These 3 can hang together as a group in

the show in May. I used fabrics from Moonstruck

and Wolf River so they will harmonize on

the gallery walls. It is finally coming together.

I will have a decent showing for the gallery.
