I'm wanting to get started - even have a couple small stacks of "matching" scraps for starters from my scrap & button sorting binge last week sitting on my cutting table - but am waiting patiently for the book which is in transit, for delivery sometime by 9/8. I've started my binder w/template pages & rotary instructions, follow the discussions, & get further behind - tho I am pretty fast at the piecing once I get started.

In the meantime am working on practicing my machine quilting on 7 guild charity quilts on my new-to-me Brother 1500S mid-arm on a New Joy Gold Standard Frame w/some hand-drawn pantographs under the stylus. My attempts are nowhere near as smooth & easy as it looks, but gotta start w/something & everything says PPP for the next year before I'll feel confident to put something I would like to treasure on the thing (&/or be ready to invest in a bigger & better machine/frame set-up - tho mine would definitely have to be used at the prices they run...)
