  1. I love to listen to the Song of Fire and Ice series while I quilt! 🙂

    Actually, from the photo, it looks like your sewing machine kind of has the munchies, lol.

    I have quilted nothing this week, nor the week before, or before that…BUT! I got my new machine and soon, very soon, I will find a flat surface somewhere here in my Dad's house to put my machine and I will quilt til the cows come home! (Can I say? I am a tad jealous of you quilting while your mind wanders…)

    Watching this design come alive has been super motivating!

    The most addictive audiobook I've come across in a while is James S.A. Corey's Leviathan Wakes (if you don't mind that it can get a bit gross).

    I got my new Janome 8200 on Thursday. Waiting for the table to come in so I won't be FMQing seriously until then but I spent today going through the manual and testing out the controls and the feet and just generally trying to bond with "the puppy."

    OMG it makes my Janome MC 10000 look like a toy, it's SO MUCH bigger, which in my world is much better.

    So far, it's very well behaved and it just has a lot of little features that I appreciate–like the better lighting, the thread cutter, and the ability to take off or change the needle plate without a screwdriver.

    I did test out the FMQ foot (the same one I have on my 10000–I bought it as soon as it came out and it's a dream. I do notice that the open-toe and closed toe feet are different than on my earlier model (they are slightly larger and slightly different in shape) so it'll be fun to see if I think they sew any differently.
