Thanks all. :D It's pretty basic so far, going to be along time, if ever, to approach the wonderful long arm work I've seen here. I have at least 10 quilt tops that I need to do, ordered backing for 3 more last night, and I need to get a roll of batting and stock up on thread. I might take in work for practice, who knows? I just don't want to mess up anyone else's hard work.
I finished the Sugar Bowl blocks for the blue quilt while at the Sew Much Fun Friday meeting. I got the top almost all sewn together yesterday and today. It was fun. :D A little chatting, a little snacking, and listening to all the conversation going on.
