[QUOTE=purplefiend;7471836]Thanks for that....I am currently handquilting a string quilt (using heavy cotton thread and slightly large stitching). It's been languishing for too long and I had trouble getting the bulk under my machine. Have since bought a Singer 15 clone (70's) so that should do the next one.

Earthwalker,
I cannot hand quilt anything any more, repetitive motion injuries prevent it. I used to quilt all of my quilts by hand, I miss doing it.
My current domestic machine that I use for quilting is a very modern Pfaff QE 4.2 w/10" throat space and built in walking foot. I piece most my quilts with one of my treadle machines.

Thanks for the kind words. I don't know anything about bird's eye maple, but here's a closeup of the top.

Thank you for the comments on the orange quilt. This next one is still a work in progress. It's to be auctioned off at a reunion to help cover cost of the shelter we use. Hope they like it. It's called carpenter's wheel, but I know everyone all ready knows the name.
