she just keeps getting better and better. 

I love her marketing and branding advice.

Can't say I am good at it yet

definitely food for thought!

31 Day Blog Challenge

Well...

 This will have to be my 29 day challenge
 as
 I am behind schedule to begin with!!



is
hosting this challenge.

Check out her blog to see other fabulous bloggers and their sewing!

I will try to keep up!!
(no promises)

So...If you are new to my blog....

My name is Christa Marcotte


Most of the time I look more like this....


We live on a  organic grain and cattle farm in Saskatchewan.


When I am not haying, seeding or harvesting...

My favorite sport is Quilting.

I have a pretty amazing place to call my own!


It used to be three rooms that my dad and I renovated into a dream sewing space

There is light from all directions.

It's definitely my happy place.

If that wasn't enough space...

I recent took over another bedroom


to make space for a new to me long arm!!


It fits perfectly!!


So from where I sew.... we go to favorite machines!!

I have been a Pfaff girl for years
 but
 recently crossed the road to try a Bernina


Bernina 770QE

It's a beast of a machine 
which
 is good since my large cat, Lucy likes to supervise

But I also have a Reliable Industrial Machine 


This puppy does 5000 stitches a minute. 

I remember meeting some girls from Holland at a quilt show.

They were telling us about how an industrial machine can't be beat!

They were right.

If you do mostly straight stitch, I would recommend getting one!

So straight and fast!!

Many days I have my embroidery machine going
as
I stitch up a storm on my industrial!

I also have a few other retreat machines like a featherweight and a passport!

Brenda King...

This is how you make double time in a Torquay day!!

That was Day1, 2 and 3!!
