meet bernette, by new bff

This is my new friend Bernette.  After two of the same kenmore machines, I had it.  I took back the kenmore to Sears this morning.  Then, after thinking about it all day, I went to the local quilt store and had the ever-friendly Judy and her little dog Stitches sit down with me and go over the whole machine, all it's functions and then I just had to get it.  

I'm pretty excited about this Bernette and all the projects we'll work on.  Tonight, it will be the clutch from my "Bend the Rules Sewing" book.  Tomorrow...who knows...but it'll be great.  

Did I mention that the Bernette is purple?  It was meant to be.
