Log Cabin Love


As you may remember, I have been without my machine for quite some time.  While we were separated (over 6 weeks) I did manage to cut out two quilts and start an applique project.  I had so badly wanted to make this log cabin quilt for Christmas, but it was not to be.


The week of Christmas, my machine was finished and I eagerly picked it up.  I began making my blocks and loved how they turned out.  I even got to use my favorite mini iron!  


It felt so good to be quilting again.  But, I noticed that even though the problem got fixed, in doing so my machine runs much slower and now there's a problem with the feeddogs not working properly.  I really don't want to take my machine back for another lengthy repair, but I don't think I have a choice.  Would you take it back to the same place or try a new repair shop?  I do believe I'm going to have to buy a new machine and have no idea where to start with that process.  Can't a girl just sew?
