Rob, I LOVE the poncho, especially the "storage pouch" part of it!!
And, remember, it's STILL a UFO finish, even if it wasn't a quilt!! We artists never seem to stick to one type of "creation"... most of us also sew home dec stuff, or clothing, or we crochet, or cross-stitch. No matter what it is, it is now no longer a UFO... and a finish is still a FINISH!! Congrats on your first finish of 2017!!
Customer quilt #1 was completed this weekend, and #2 was started. Two out of the three needed embroidery animals were stitched out. Hopefully I can get the third one done tonight when I get home from work, while quilting some more on the customer quilt.
In one way, it's a little distracting to go back and forth between the two machines (thread color changes in the embroideries, ya know), but it's actually GOOD for me, as it forces me to take a break from the longarm. I don't know WHY I didn't think of doing this before!!!!!
Now, if I had a robot for the longarm, I could embroider on one machine, have the robot quilting on the longarm, and be piecing on yet another machine.
It's probably for the best that I DON'T have the robot... I would probably really mess stuff up if I multi-tasked that much!!
Still waiting on the teddy patterns, and just got a "your fabric is backordered" for the consignment quilt.
