The Very First . . .
. . . blog post. I know, I'm behind the times. I like it that way. I don't Tweet. I don't Text. I sew with treadle sewing machines. I milk our goats. I bring in eggs from the barn. That's all true. I once told this to a stranger on a ski lift and he suddenly became very quiet. So, I thought for my first post it would be fitting to show you the first project I made using my first electronic machine: a Pfaff 7570. (If anyone wants to show me how to better edit pictures for blogs, I'd be grateful. :-) ) This is the first time I have ever done fusible applique and blanket stitched around it. It's the first time I have ever made a disappearing four-patch block. (Thanks, Sally, for the tutorial .) It's the first time I've used a sewing machine's memory to create a stitch pattern (the flowers with straight lines between). It's not the first time I've used a sewing machine to sew words, but it is the first time I've done it on a quilt.
