How to Unthread a Bernina 550

One of my most beloved presents ever is my new Bernina 550 which I received this last Christmas.  I don't spend as much time as I'd like using my machine.  To refresh my memory, I end up having to consult my user guide.  I particularly find that threading the B550 is less than intuitive.  Now, when my Maine Coon, Felix, wants to help, it's nearly impossible to make any progress.  While I was pulling the thread down, he would bite it from the back and watch the bobbin roll and try to dislodge it. See him here preparing his next move!  

A Different Easter Bunny - Inspired by Quiltings Arts TV Series 900

My husband, Steve, is so very fond of bunnies that I had to put a stop to their fast reproduction in our house.  He expects a bunny card for any and all occasions, and this Easter, I discovered that I had used up all my stock of bunny cards.  

It was too late to go out and buy one, so I decided I would create my own.  Then, I changed my mind and made a pillow, inspired by Quilting Arts TV's latest 900 Series.  And here it is!  

In retrospect, I would modify the bunny image to make it look more like the Japanese bunnies on the background fabric, but it was a lot of fun to make.
