This is the kind of quilt that Karen loves to make. No rules, no lines, and lots of space to quilt. The quilt measures 51" x 54." Even great quilters wish they could change things, Karen writes, "All these amazing ideas popped up into my brain after I've started quilting it. It's like oh, I should have done this and I should have added this here... oh well, they will have to wait until the next quilt!"

Kathy from Florida, USA received the special call from Alex Anderson:
"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I am just so excited, what a wonderful surprise. I just know that I am going to love my new Bernina 550QE. I can't wait to start using it. I still can't believe that I won, as I have not won anything like this before! I can't express how grateful I am!... Creating is my therapy and is what has help me stay sane through the last several years. My dream is to someday just be able to focus on doing my creating and maybe getting back into selling some of my creations again. Winning this machine means the world to me!
Again, thank you for the wonderful phone call with such exciting news."
