Purple for April

My DD and William took me to the Creativ Festival yesterday.  There was not a lot of stuff I was interested in, but I did get a chance to talk to a Bernina dealer.  He had wonderful advice for me.  He can fix my sewing machine!  Yay!  I can buy a new foot pedal for about $150.  Or he can fix the broken one for about $40.  So I have options.  And that is a great help.

On the RSC15 sampler front, I have done a couple of purple blocks.  Purple is the colour for April.  I am way behind and still haven't started the blocks for the beginning of the year.


 But now that I can get my machine fixed as soon as I can get up to the Bernina shop, I have plans!

Linking up with Super Scrappy's ScrapHappy Saturday.

At least you have done something purple. I haven't even looked

Well, that's good news about your machine. I too was at the Creative Festival with my friend Judy. Too bad we didn't know that we were both going, we could have met and I could have seen little William. I went looking to see what was new with the sewing machines but got so discouraged because there were so many. Neither one of us bought much.

Glad to hear you can get your pedal fixed, and save all that extra money for FABRIC!! I like your purple blocks. I need to make mine today.

Well, it would be an easy choice for me. Fix it!

It would be an easy fix for me too. I'd purchase a new one!!! I know it might cost more, however I'm a firm believer in having the best I can afford when it comes to my sewing machine. I guess I'm a bit of a rebel when it comes to getting things fixed. I haven't had a whole lot of good success stories. Whatever you choose, I hope it's the best for you.

I love your blocks! Sounds like sewing is in your future, with a fixed machine!

Hope your machine is back in service soon! Days without sewing are like days without sunshine! Great start on your purple blocks!

So glad you will be able to get your machine fixed. Hopefully it won't take too long. Being without is so sad.
