MQX show update
To say I'm having fun would be an understatement. At the Ice Cream Social Mary Schilke & Janet-Lee sang a parody of the "Brady Bunch" So funny! With everything else these two do for show prep this must keep them in stitches. Each of the teachers/vendors who had a table were invited to share a… Continue reading MQX show update

I’ve mentioned before I’m a Bernina girl
And if I could I'd have this Beauty. . . I would. I want the space from needle center to the inside of the harp, the larger bobbin, the automatic feed dog drop and the BSR (not that I particularly need one, this is solely about want). For now though I'm content with this Beauty!… Continue reading I’ve mentioned before I’m a Bernina girl
