Day 228 - Odds and Ends

I bought a bag of tiny flowers a week or two ago at the thrift store for 1.80 and tonight I figured out where and how I would store them as the bag is not a good way to acess or store.
 Here they are:

Cut a few strips and 5" squares...I am tiring of this fabric...

And lastly, I redid the ribbon on the purse I made monday night

and covered the stitching that was the model number of

the Bernina that I sewed on with 3 of my many yo-yo's

 (and was able to find the perfect color combinations).

Day 226 - Taking a class...

Something new tonight.
 I took a class at Fat Quarter Quilting to use a new Bernina 380. 

Class ran from 6:00-9:30.

 We used lots of different stitches

 and about 7 different presser feet, plus made button holes

 and dropped the feed dogs. 

 There is even a "cruise control" on these machines!!

Our instructor was very informative about all of the machines and answered so many questions.

One of the other women in the class owned 4 sewing machines! 

 The other one had purchased  a Bernina a year ago

 and was wanting to trade up to one like we were using tonight.

I shared that I sew on my 250.00 Sears Kenmore

that is 33 years old!

Here is my almost finished purse.

And the final project completed.

It was a fun and informative evening!
