i've started fmq on my dgd's 1st quilt. i have put it off, and put it off. i got going, and i won't win any prizes, but it is really fun! i was truly surprised! i turned on my today's country music channel and ran the machine faster than i moved the quilt and it just seemed to work! it was a lot easier than the stid quilt i just finished for my son. it's so much faster and so much more fun. i wrote my dgd's name in several places on the quilt. i plan to add other messages as i finish it up. it will be years before she finds them and can read them but it will be a reminder of how much, and how long her grammi has loved her. <3
