Hi Everyone,

This is my first table topper, and my first project on my new to me Bernina 1090. Still have some issues like needle positions and walking foot things to work out, your basic learning curve. Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed the process and working on such an awesome machine.

Anyway, this is "Baskets of Blessings", a 17" table topper, using a This & That pattern. It takes only part of a charm pack for the topper, plus a bit for the binding and backing. I used "Wildflower Serenade II" for the front, and "Autumn Journey" for the backing and binding, both from Kansas Troubles. It will be given to a long time friend of mine for her birthday tomorrow.

Beautiful! Your friend is going to love it.

I also just got a new Bernina and I wish I had taken the plunge 10 years ago! I love it!

LOL! We were posting on each other's threads at the same time about our new Bernies!

That's pretty!
Great job!
Can I be your friend? :)

Very pretty!!! I have a Bernina that I love too. I have a 630e

TOO funny! LOL I've had my 730 since 1994, with nary a problem. Keep 'em clean and oiled and they'll run forever. I got the 1090 for some of the bells and whistles us quilters like. Enjoy yours. If you aren't aware, there is a really nice Yahoo group called "Berninathirtysomethings", first started for the older x30 machines, but now all are welcome to share their questions, experiences, pictures, etc. I've learned so much from them over the years.

Thanks for your kind comments.

Of course you can be my friend, lol. Thanks so much!

Cool! Now send that table topper to me! lol :) :) :)

After 16 years of friendship, I sure hope so! I know she'll appreciate it, that's why I made it for her. She is a true friend. Thanks for your compliments.

Thanks Everyone! All replies much appreciated. It was a lot of fun to do, except the part where I kept getting my orientation messed up! :oops: :?

Really nice table topper for fall.

Very pretty! :D

nice quilts love the way you did it

Great topper. Enjoy the new machine.

It's beautiful. I love scrappy quilts.

Really pretty, and good colors.

I love that. The scrappy look is always a favorite of mine, and the jewel tone colors are my favorite.

You do such lovely work.
I love you Baskets - I am in love with these Kansas Troubles fabrics. I want to be your friend too - it's my birthday soon LOL :wink:

Great job Quiltgranny, I have a Bernie too - perhaps we need a Bernie owners thread here. I belong to a Yahoo group, but it drives me crazy, as every message has the last two or three words repeated every line. I just end up deleting them.

I adore the table topper and your friend will, too.
I've had that pattern for a while now. Will have to find the Wildflower Serenade charm pack. The fabrics set it off so nicely.
Have fun with your new machine.

Oooh, I really like it!
