1st Sewing Project...

So very excited! The machine is from the 1960's era... and was made in Japan. It's a Calanda 2 by Pfaff... that's about all I know. We don't even know who it previously belonged to - no one in the family can remember. But it still purrs along!
All set to go with a bunch of fat quarters that Mom and Jen gave me for my birthday. Also got some nice scraps from grandma (in the background) to practice with...


Here we go! I thought I'd use some christmas fabric to start, so that if it didn't turn out right I wouldn't be really too heartbroken... :-)


All pinned together with batting and backing... ready to try my hand at some binding and make a mini MINI quilt... it looks cute so far. Mistakes and all!


The finished product! The binding was fun, but a little harder to sew on the back than I though. I hand sewed it, so we won't look at that - definitely need more practice there! So VERY HAPPY with my first attempt!!
