I have been playing again with Designer Diamond. The things you can do with this machine is endless..but so far just learning...
The bunny towel I call Bunny Love. It is 2 seperate designs. I took the vine and duplicated it. Then rotated it and put them together.

Cute. Put me in mind of the many my grandmother sat and embroidered.

Yes it is...some people think it extravigant to have such a machine...but it is all I can do now...so why not.

I consider myself very blessed to have not one but two fabulous embroidery machines. I am having the time of my life with my machines and my embroidery software. This is largest purchase I will ever personally make. I don't feel it is too extravagant because I use them constantly. But I do know most people think I spent my money unwisely. For the amount of pleasure I have gotten from my embroidery machines I couldn't put a price tag on that! Enjoy your embroidery machine sure looks like you're having a great time!

Oh they're so cute - what kind of an embroidary do you have?

These particular embroidery designs is called Penny Squares. I got them when I had my Designer 1..floopy disk machine. I still wanted the software for my Designer Diamond so I had my instructor help me download it. I am so glad I did.
Yesterday, I bought Dakota designs. I now have more designs to use on t towels. And it was on sale. Half price. Woohoo.
Thank you all for your comments, you made me feel much better about my leisure time...lol...

Those Viking Designer Diamonds are really a dream!! They are currently having a sweepstake; a drawing for one if you just go into a dealers' store & take a "test drive."
