I have to say - I just love your style. If that is the correct term :) You inspired my Pink Ribon quilt for my MIL (which was a huge success - she has it as her avatar on Facebook!)and each quilt you make looks just great. Very very nice!

The echos on the border is what really turned me off, even though I like how it looks, the time is just...UGG! No pattern, just winging it here. I must say I dont like doing vines. Not real happy with how the back looks but it'll just have to do.
If you are looking for a machine that will last, take a look at the vintage Singers. A Singer 15-91 or 15-90 will last and parts are easy to order off of the internet. The Singer 15s are excellent for free motion quilting too!. If you need help, there are numerous folks here that have vintage Singers. We chat on the Vintage Sewing Machine thread.

Hope you have lots of TP with all that "dumping" and "pooping" your machines are doing :-)
sorry just couldnt help myself. hehe
Seriously, I love how it turned out, I've never done vines before so I dont know how difficult they are but they look to be a challenge. I think you did an awesome job !!!!
