I’m still recovering a bit from the events of last week. The dealer rang to tell me that he was returning my repaired Innovis machine, but when it arrived it seemed to be in a different box from the one I'd sent it in. No problem, I thought – he’s just re-packed it. But when I opened the immense box I found, not my old Innovis 4000, but a new Innovis-I. Within minutes I was on the phone to the dealer to complain, but he assured me that it was the right machine. Eventually I figured out that my totally fantastic husband had arranged for the Innovis-I to be sent to me as a birthday surprise. Well, it certainly was that!
The magnificent new machine
Anyway, although I haven’t been able to do any stitching for several weeks, Cherri has been busy and has produced one of her most successful quilts. She put it together from some old designs of fish and turtles that I did a long time ago, and although the wonderful colours give it terrific vitality and energy, the patterns and colours remain subtle and intriguing
