Best Sewing Machine
Pfaff's Creative 2144 Sewing Machine

Best Quilting Frame
Hinterberg's Easy Build Machine Quilt Frame

Best Quilting Software

This week Sophie reviews Linda Giesler Carlson's Best of 4 Blocks and More as well as a book on making good use of today's fabulous machine embroidery designs in a quilt.

I'll be back in your inbox next year on January 3rd.

'Til then, may your holiday season and the coming year be filled with peace, love, and quilting!

P.S. Need to make an easy, charming gift? My new Charming Houses wall quilt pattern is a great way to assemble a quaint village scene using fusible web applique and 6" charms from your stash. You'll love the look -- see it here -- and making it couldn't be more fun!
