A present to myself - A Brother Innov-is 80 Project Runway Limited Edition

I received a cash award at work and decided to splurge and spend it on something I've wanted for a long time - a good sewing machine. I had in mind a Bernina, but when I went sewing machine shopping, I saw an enlightening demonstration of this machine. Who would've ever known that Brother had a high end line of machines? Kind of like a Lexus - Toyota relationship.

I was inspired to buy this because I want to make Crazy Shortcut Quilts. Maybe someday I'll surprise someone and actually have something to show for my lofty goals.

Crazy Shortcut Quilts

I've been looking through this book of beautiful quilts contemplating trying my hand at making one. I've always loved quilts of all kinds, but never have the time to devote to quilting. This method is one I'd love to try.

I've been to one of the co-authors' blogs and found links to even more awesome quilts.
