Pfaff!

I bought my sewing machine! It's an amazing Pfaff, which is a big deal German sewing machine brand. It was actually created in Kaiserslautern just down the road, in the 1800s by a son in a family of instrument makers. The instruction manual is in German, but the instructional DVD has several languages! I also get lessons at the store, eventually when I have another day off. I started sewing my next quilt! I tried what I had originally designed with the log cabin strip placement, but what is mathmatically correct does not always work in practice. Now I know why I didn't find any patterns how I thought it should go. So I did a little trimming and completed my first quilt block with my new sewing machine! Yay!
