Swollen Battery

 Hello Everyone,

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season :-)

I started quilting this quilt below,. when right in the middle of 

it I started getting motor issues. It was saying USB cable unplugged. So

I unplugged everything and powered down my machine, waited

a good 5 minutes before plugging and powering back-up.  Still not working.

I took the tablet off the machine and then I realized what was wrong.

The battery was swollen - UGH. 

Now I am shopping around for a new tablet.

Babylock charges way too much - $1,300.

So, I went to my dealer store thinking I would get a good deal - yeah right!

He wants to charge me $2,500. Well you know what I said....

NO WAY!

I reached out directly to pro-stitcher and they were wonderful.

The price was $659.00 with shipping. I should get this in 7 to 10 days

with all the software programed in it- YAY  :-)

I can't believe how these quilt stores mark everything way up.

I am very happy I called Pro-stitcher. 

They answer the phone when you call and they have great customer service too!

I'm a happy quilter! :-)


Here is the quilt I was working on when all this happened.

This quilt is called the Tutti Frutti quilt by Eleanor Burns.

Love the pattern...


This is still on my machine waiting to be finished.

Seeing how I can't quilt.  I started making an i-spy

quilt for my littlest grandson, Vincenzo.

The little ones love color, so I am making this one colorful.

I'm making this one with the disappearing nine patch block.

Love the way it's turning out.

I would like to wish you all a  very Happy, Healthy New Year!
