For those of you that don't know, I've been "babysitting" a friend's longarm. Well, that 2-3 yr committment came to a stop yesterday (7 months later!!). They said they want to sell it.........and wanted me to buy it. Well, I didn't want it -- for my own reasons. SOOOO today I went down and bought a HandiQuilter Avante!!! I am sooooo excited!!! They'll deliver it the first part of the week!!!! Now all we have to do is take down the old one, take out the carpeting - move a wall back, and lay hardwood flooring in my shop. :) :) So why am I here instead of working????? Because I'm so excited I couldn't wait to tell you!!!!
