a new love...

Look what came to live at my house!
 It's a Janome Memory Craft 6600 that has been well loved and cared for by a friend of mine. She is getting a different machine so she put this one up for adoption (ok, she's selling it, but doesn't putting it up for adoption sound kinder? Maybe?). She was nice enough to let me take it home yesterday to take it for a test drive and I'm in love. I've decided to keep it! Aren't I lucky?
 Today I made another church ladies apron, my first project on my new machine.
 Look! I even tried out one of the fancy stitches on the pockets...
 This will be hopping in the box with the stockings I showed you the other day.

I'm feeling very very lucky right now! Happy weekend everyone!

I don't know anything about this particular machine, but it looks very pretty! I do like the table. I currently sew at my kitchen table (which makes for a messy kitchen table).
