JANOME’S New Horizon Memory Craft 8900 QCP Progress Report
I promised a follow up on my new sewing machine, Janome’s new Horizon 8900 QCP, After having a chance to try her out a bit more, I find I’m still in love with this machine. It is perfect for all you who are quilters.
This’n a Bright One!
Get your sunglasses, this baby’s a bright one! I’ve been busily working on a few new art quilts, here’s one that turned out to be colorful and lively..
Impressionist art quilt
What I liked about this fabric was it’s impressionist style, the way it resembled a watercolor. I wanted keep focus on the painting itself, no fussiness to detract or obscure. .

Janome’s new Horizon 8900 QCP Want to know what I think?
Janome has recently released it’s latest Horizon 8900 Q C P. When it’s release was announced apparently many quilters began to form a line. I’ll share my inital impression.

Waiting for that creative light bulb .
not wanting to waste this beautiful silk on the wrong design. I’d look at it from time to time, waiting for inspiration to hit me. Finally the light bulb went off over my head, I know just what I’m going to do!!
