Sissy is my first Brother sewing machine. I bought her in July 2009, right after I did some piecing for the very first time and realized that I fell hook, line and sinker in love with this craft. I was borrowing my mother's old machine and I hated that, so much so that I wanted to throw it through the window. I'll always remember the moment when hubby said to me "why don't you go out and spend a few hundred dollars and get yourself a sewing machine"? I'm sure he had no clue at that time just how far I would take this art when he uttered those words.
Lately she has been to one really long sleep over party! Since August, she has been hanging out with my graphic-artist-new-quilter friend Alana, who got interested in art quilts (thanks to me), was taking her first quilting class to learn the basics and needed a machine to use.
