Great weight loss girlfriend!!! That has to feel sooo great!!

Lynnie...I'm kind of middle of the road I guess...not a novice, but not the most expert either at quilting and mine usually takes several minutes just to figure out what...then stitching takes a bit of time if I'm appliquing, or paper piecing and then quilting and finally binding...sometimes I do the pillowcase method, but I plan on a morning or afternoon (maybe in segments) but usually 2 - 3 hours for me...
I'm sitting here in a Holiday Inn in American Fork, Ut, getting ready to see one of our sons...we're on the road seeing family for the next 2 weeks, so I won't be early in mailing, but should make the deadline easily...happy sewing ladies!
Oh! I forgot! Yuk, yuk, and double YUK on alterations...almost had a panic attack just reading what you're having to stitch Sewbiz...good luck!
