I popped into It's Sew Time last week and there was a sale on Pfaff machines so I came home with the Ambition 1.0 (I am calling it the Baby 4.0 because of all the similarities) It took me 3 minutes to decide that was the one. It is perfect for me. And guess what......later that day, as my quilting buddy was using my 4.0 and doing some freemotion quilting, it came to a complete stop and is now in the shop for repair and a cleaning. So I guess it was fate that I bought my back-up machine that day.

I have been working very hard on a new project over the past few days. Here's a sneak peek at the main fabric I am using. After I bought this fabric, I read the pattern more closely and it suggested not to use a directional fabric, but I am making it work.
Oh yes, and I gave notice to my boss that I am giving up work. Soon as a replacement takes over I am officially retired. 15 years of merchandising greeting cards. Done.
