I have a Viking Designer 1 but use it mostly for piecing and a Babylock Ellegante for my embroidery. Both are 9+ years old but I'm not doing as much embroidery as I once did when I got them. Just picked up the magnetic 5x7 and 7 x 11 hoops for the Babylock. I embroider all my quilt labels making them into triangle shaped labels so I only have to hand sew one side down.

Pulled out one of my plastic totes I had stashed under the quilt frame and loe and behold I found embroidered stuff from 2004. 4 season blocks from Embroidery Library I decided to make into a wallhanging using my scraps (2.5 x 2.5) for the sashing between the blocks and a double row for the outer border. Also pulled out an old project from the Babylock website (2000) to make a welcome banner for my front porch. All waiting to be quilted. Here's some photos of them so far. The cats need one more design to make a wallhanging in my 1/2 bath plus I want to make a toilet seat cover with a cat design on both sides.
