I'm getting along just great with my new Innova. I finished up Mary's quilt (she had to wait for a month!). It was started on my old Gammill and finished up on my Innova. I really love the new machine - it feels different; like getting a new car and having to figure out where the windshield wipers and lights are, but it is already starting to feel like home.
This is such a striking quilt - it is a Jinny Beyer design, I think it is called
Around the World. I used bright thread in Mary's quilt: something different for me, I usually stick with thread that matches or nearly matches the background. But I thought this quilt would benefit from contrasting thread - I used five or six different colors of green, purple and turquoise.
It's getting cold here in Kansas, time to pull out the down comforter. I picked all the remaining tomatoes no matter how green they are and I'm ready for the first freeze. I have to admit, I don't mind giving up on watering everything!
Beautiful quilting and I'm glad you love your new machine!

ReplyDeleteKnowing this is an older post but just had to comment. I appreciate your post as I recently sold my Gammill and, as of yesterday!, have an Innova. I am so out of my comfort zone! Love what you said about the new car and finding the windshield wipers and lights :0) Love your work, gorgeous! I have a long way to go, looking forward to the journey. Sigh
