well, I just got back from the long arm quilter.. I have never had this experience before. I always do my own..so it's either stitch in the ditch or following a pattern or something not so difficult.
As soon as i opened the door to her shop my heart started to beat fast ! She had two long arms in there, thread and patterns galore.... I was in heaven !
I took in my Lover's Knot (green/tan/rust color). I am so excited to have the opportunity to get one professionally quilted.. thank you hubby..you are thee best !
I will definetly post when it comes back home..

It is a lot of fun to walk into a Longarm Studio. Three years ago a friend of mine got a longarm. She let me use it because she was packing to move. I did about thirty chairty quilts in three weeks while she packed. Then she moved and had the nerve to take the machine with her.
It was so much fun and the group I quilt with sent over 200 quilts in a few months. Didn't think I could ever have a machine myself. Hubby surprised me about a year later with a longarm.
