The beauty of batiks

Wow....I really like this one. Been working on it off and on for a while, and got really ambitious about finishing it last week-end. Looks almost Christmasy, doesn't it? It will have the burgundy binding as shown on the bottom. Will probably do a pantograph for the quilting.



Then, right when I was ready to sew on the last border....knots, loop, knots, loops, in the bobbin thread. I cleaned the case, changed the needle, etc. etc. etc. and again. No hope. It needs servicing anyway, but how am I going to survive a week or two without my Janome?

It's gorgeous Rachel and it read more summer than Christmas to me. Looks like flowers.
