So off we went to Hershey on Saturday-it was the first time that we have been to Hershey and not had to sit in traffic. Although like every other trip to Hershey we could not find where we needed to be and ended up looping. Hershey has a very nice park and the largest public pool I have ever seen.
So into the quilt show we go-first thing first-the vendor market!! WOW! I am from upstate NY and the quilt shows I have been to are in churches or schools with maybe a dozen or so vendors. So needless to say this was amazing and bless Scott's heart he waited as I entered each booth and listened to my excitement as I exited. It was neat to see all the gadgets, the fabric trends and patterns. We went through everything once and ended at the Viking booth.....13/14 year old machine-very basic, no frills, served a purpose.
There it was the Sapphire 870Q....the last one, the demo model, marked down by $400-what was a girl to do???? I just HAD to buy it-the best part you want to know....all my feet and bobbins are interchangeable-Eureka!! Ok not the best part-the best part was that the seller kept the machine while we went through the quilts and I wandered back through the booths to pick up some MH paper piecing patterns.
I love the MH paper piecing patterns and have seen a couple of them and have done the pansy one. I picked up 4 of them-ha ha Mom!!! I only told Mom I picked up 2 ;).
Ok so then we went through the quilts. Wonderful works of art. Showcased quilts in a non-quilt way-they were not ones you put on beds and snuggled under. They were made to be hung and centerpieces. Amazing. The Quilting Pirate has a site showing a majority of quilts because although I took my camera the batteries DIED!!! UGH!! Darn rechargeable batteries!! I loved the bright pelicans it was so neat to me. I also stood at the pelicans in disbelief at the whole cloth quilt done in-are you ready?? That Cheddar Orange color! Yup no kidding. Can you just picture the clerk at the quilt shop when the customer asked to purchase 8 yards of Cheddar Orange-LOL!!! It was beautiful in workmanship alone. As we were wandering we came upon a wall hanging of a view-as I looked at I realized I recognized the view. Someone had done a "picture" quilt of the International Bridge . I know that bridge-how cool.
Ok so on to the machine-I love it and so much different than what I had. I have only sewn seams with it so far but am liking the auto sew, the auto foot and the auto cutter feature. The auto foot has taken some getting used to-I keep looking for the lever. There are so many stitches-I haven't had a chance to play with-work days are long. I will next week though.
I think there is about 4 more inches of space so I can't wait to finish the MBS2 and try to quilt a fair sized wall hanging that I is in the UFO pile. The size of the wall hanging would normally have me struggling in my old machine so I look forward to seeing the difference.
Enough for now-happy sewing!!
