I actually had enough money to put a good payment toward a Gammill long arm - not the super duper computerized one...but I was still a very happy and grateful person. Every time I enjoy my beautiful machines, I remember my Mom's gift. Still brings tears to my eyes.
Your quilt square is beautiful and the colors are so interesting. You sure put that great machine to good use. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Yes! It is exciting and so fun to sew on! I don't have to rip alot of things out now. So far I haven't had any problems with her and I love it! That was very sweet of your Mom to leave you enough to get a good sewing machine.
I have finished making all of the blocks now. I made the last 6 today and now I'm sewing the rows together. Here is a picture of it laying out on my deck, when I finished making all the blocks. It's going to be sooo pretty! I love it. It was getting dark so some of the colors didn't turn out too well. I may have to take another picture tomorrow in the daylight to post too!
