Win an Awesome Sewing Machine

A few weeks ago I first mentioned a quilt-along through Old Red Barn Co. and anyone (that means you) can enter to win the Janome 6600P sewing machine! I've had my one entry and I have extra entries because I participated on-line with the quilt along. It only takes a moment to leave a comment on her website. The contest is open until July 6th at 6:00pm eastern time. In case you randomly win and you don't sew you can give the machine to someone you know who does sew (like me)! If she gets enough entries she said in a earlier post that she'll give away the quilt she made for the on-line group. So you could win the consolation prize too!

Anyways I've been working like crazy on crafts lately. The quilt top is complete!

I added the sash and "piano keys" at either end to make it a bit longer so it would fit better on a twin sized bed. The backing is in the dryer right now and I hope to baste the quilt tomorrow. (Basting is when you pin or loosely sew the back, batting and top together to prepare it for quilting. You have to do this over the entire quilt, so it can take a little while.) I will be hand quilting it on a nifty little frame that I bought for my mom at a garage sale for $5. It's retail value was $80, so I was happy. My mom received an awesome jumbo frame from my dad, so I've inherited the cube. (When she dies maybe I'll get the big frame.) I want to set the quilt up and get started this weekend. Perhaps in the future I'll invest in the right feet for my machine so I can quilt with it.

Anyways, enter the contest.
