Clothes for Betsy!

My dear friend Linda, just got a new Bernina 750 sewing machine and she is so happy and excited!!!

So, I had to make her new machine, Betsy, a pretty cover to keep the dust off!!

I had some awesome scraps leftover from the “She Who Sews” quilt, so I used them!!

She doesn’t have Betsy sunk down into a new sewing leaf in the big studio table yet, so I had to sort of guess the size according to the machine dimensions.

But it seems to fit fairly well!!!  YAY!!

  10. What a great and thoughtful gift you made for Linda! Yogi looks like the master supervisor! I'm doing the same thing I've been doing for the past I don't how many weeks -- shoveling snow and more snow. It's been snowing all day here again. I'm getting claustrophobic from being surrounded by 5 and 6 foot deep snow piles and drifts and I just want to see grass, even if it's brown!

  11. Congrats Linda on your 750 Bernina! I want one but keep saying no to myself, but after seeing how happy you are holding yours, it makes me want to go and buy one. And wow, to have a friend like Polly to make you a cover for it, is special….I love friends who are happy for one another!
