The machine on the frame is my first embroidery machine a Janome 8000.the screen has almost gone and its difficult to change any setting ,my mother in law bought it for me 16 years ago ,I now use a Janome 11000 and 350E.It was such a waste not using the 8000 , but it does a great job on the frame

Love your fabric choice. I really like to see labels on a quilt. They will mean even so much more 20 years down the road.
You did a great job.

What a lucky young lady to receive such a lovely gift!!!

Alisha will be very impressed with the lovely quilt with family love wrapped up in it...well done...

Beautifully done, get ready for a few tears, your granddaughter will be overwhelmed. I love these 'behind the scenes surprises'.....Ann
