Two finished projects and some well-earned TLC for my Bernina

Watershed logo "Sunrise" and Watershed
logo with beads. And Prince.

My Bernina has needed a trip to the shop for a while now, but first I needed to finish these small wall-hangings for Jeanetta's 8th grade silent auction fundraiser this weekend. They are planning a trip this spring to Barrow which should be super fun and interesting. I'm hoping to go with them myself as the North Slope is one area of the state I've never been to.

Our favorite style.

I had hoped to get several of these finished, but other projects like last week's Troth quilt got in the way. I used Steam-a-seam 2 light to create the silhouettes and then satin stitched around them.  The original logo has black lines representing northern lights (I think) and I created them with hanging beads in the quilt on the right (in the picture with both quilts). Jeanetta and I prefer the quilt on the left which uses a stained-glass style and I would like to make more of that technique representing the seasons. I also have plans for a larger version. Someday. It is a very nice logo and lends itself well to the silhouette and stained-glass styles.

Now that these are finished I was able to drop the machine off at Material Girls for a tune-up. It shouldn't be gone long, but in the meantime I will be starting some knitting projects. 'Tis the season for making gifts and I have a very long list!
