Since it's very difficult for me to get in front of the machine these days, both due to exhaustion and because I have a 3 year old, I get to spend my nights in front of the tv searching for inspiration and designing on EQ7.

I bought some Princess and the Pea fabric from a craft show a while ago and really want to use it up. I saw this one by Freshly Pieced and had to make one of my own. I'd already bought a fat quarter pack with complimentary colours and love how they all mix together.

Of course this one won't be made for a while, not until after the baby has arrived and the new machine is on my table :)

New machine and new playmat for baby

Guess what my hubby bought me! Yep, a Janome Horizon 7700. How friggin exciting. Not that I'll get to see it anytime very soon as it's coming down from Queensland. By which time I'll hopefully have brought a new human into the world. But what a nice welcome home, hey?



Of course I've already planned the first thing I want to make with it using EQ7. I need a new playmat for the little one when he arrives. I thought the Dr Seuss fabrics would be ideal. Plus I'll have loads left over to make a quilt at a later date. I think I'll try to cut the fabrics prior to going to hospital...maybe tomorrow...so that they are ready to go once the machine arrives.
