a perfect way to learn more about my (nearly new) Nina and create a quilt at the same time...
The Quilt of Stitches lets you experiment with various decorative stitch options and interesting thread colours...no expertise required, just some curiosity and a spirit of adventure...
Why not I thought!!!
I chose prints from the Civil War range...
Collections for a Cause - Hope by Howard Marcus for Moda...
At present we are doing stitches on square solid fabric to cut up later to look like this...
This one was a completed one...
some of the girls are using darker solid fabrics...
Some of my stitches are a bit wonky...
Using some ribbon here (and getting better ha ha)
And these are some of the ribbons I may use...
This workshop is such FUN FUN FUN!!!
Thanks so much Steph for organizing this and also Jan for teaching us...
next time we have a lady from Bernina to come and chat!!!
And arm update...still CAN'T do apron up...
Physio said yesterday I should notice a lot of difference by Christmas...
so all sounds good, right???

Wow, Dzintra, what a fun workshop. Love the stitches and thread you used!
What a great idea to use the stitches on your sewing machine! We always say how fast Christmas comes around, you'll be doing up aprons before you know it.
Wow Dzintra, your quilt is going to be wonderful. What great tricks your learning at that class.
This is so great! I also have a Nina ... ;) .... and I'm so glad she has a huge line of different stitches!!
Enjoy!!!
p.s. what lovely fabrics you are showing!
Love the Civil war fabrics Dzintra... Let me know when you master those decorative stitches, I still haven't gotten close on my bernina!! I just go all over the place :)!! Sounds like your next workshop will be great though, thanks as always for sharing!
Have a great week!

Hello Dzintra,
Wow you will be having fun with this quilt. One of the most interesting quilts I have seen is a plain coloured cotton with all the different patterns from the machine. You have chosen some great material. How big is it going to be?
Christmas will be here before you know it. Happy days.
Bev.xoxo
Looks great!
