I need a quilting friend too!!! I have a Tiara and love the quilting process once I get started, but my tops are backing up. I still get nervous to start quilting and ponder forever on how to proceed. I just need to jump in with both "hands" and get them done and out the door. I do have a dear friend who has a long arm but she is 6 mos. out and 2 hours, one way, away. That's why I got a Tiara and love the convenience. Your quilts came out lovely. You are so creative with your scraps.
