Bernina Embroidery Machine Projects

Just a couple of quick projects I threw together with stuff I had on hand. The small tote is for my ex sister in law and the large one is for my mother. I used heavy canvas and iron on tearaway stabilizer. The embroidery thread is all isocord. The embroidery patterns came from OESD, Frogs, Angels and butterfly collections. Let me know what you think.

One of my great Aunts just got a new home. Hers was destroyed by hurricane Rita. I made her an afghan as a housewarming gift. here's the picture of it.

New Sewing Machine and Room

Hi Everyone,
Here are the pictures of all the stuff I got when I bought my new Bernina 200E with the 730 upgrade. Hope you enjoy

For those of you who machine knit, this is the only machine knit slipper I could find. I made about 40 pairs of them 2 christmases ago. EVERYONE got slippers for christmas. LOL I got so good, I could whip them out in an hour. I have since sold this machine, but when finances permit, I will look for another one.

This is the start of a cotton shawl I started a couple of months ago. I work on it when I have no project that I need to finish or just for a change of pace. The pattern is an 8 stitch plus 1 repeat, so it's very easy for me to remember and not have to refer to a pattern sheet to figure out where I'm at. The Yarn is Bernat mercerized cotton yarn. Very soft and shiny. It came in a box of stuff that came with one of my knitting machines. It's probably discontinued, but I have lots of it, so no worries about running out in the middle and then having to re knit it into something smaller. I may even have enough left over to make a simple lace shell for my skinny sister with the big boobs. LOL
