My new friend

While we were admiring some beasutiful quilts at the Exhibition, my dear boyfriend (manfriend??) got a great sale on a Janome 8200 sewing machine :) I still have to find her name.....my previous machine was Millie. Slowly but surely we are getting to know each other. When I tried to quilt my Peacock quilt on my old machine, it was very frustrating, so much so that I just put it aside. With my Janome and a walking foot....it is easy and painless :)
