My dear sweet Bernie must have heard me telling my tale of woe last night, and behaved herself sufficiently for me to do some quilting on the tree skirt I started on Saturday. I got about half of it done before I decided to call it a night.Today I finished off the quilting, cut the opening, and applied the binding to the front. Now I just need to trim away the excess batt and hand sew the binding to the reverse side.
You can't see it from the picture, but there's a little loop made from excess binding hidden at the back. When I do the hand sewing, that will pop thru to the front. And ready to be stitched in place for use with the loop, a cute Christmas themed button.
I've had fun putting this project together, and it's really achievable in a weekend - especially when your sewing machine cooperates. :-)

ohh boy, you are so fast and it isn't even close to christmas :-)
I do love stripey binding. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Bernie is ok, I'd be lost without my machines. I hate to have them serviced, because I get 'seperation anxiety"......
It looks wonderful!
absolutely love this!
I really like the striped binding, too!
Glad your machine is holding out. It is definitely worth getting fixed too. I've an older 1630 (plus a few others for various reasons) and it is my workhorse, will sew guaze and denim.
Good job on the tree skirt!
arghhh - I never even made it downstairs tonight to see if I could find that xmas fabric I hadn't decided what to use for - I think it would be perfect. Geez your fast!
Oh no I'd be lost without my Bernina...I have a old 1030..its a real workhorse and I use it everyday!
Did you ever start the hungry caterpillar quilt? I have the same fabric and was looking to see what you made with yours.
Hope you get your machine up and running....7500.00 for a new one! OUCH
Happy Sewing
Its lovely! Glad your machine cooperated!
I love the tree skirt. You are so organised for Xmas!
