I bought the book "Machine Quilting Made Easy" by That Patchwork Place. It is set up in exercises #1-14. A friend needed more fabric to finish a quilt, so we visited my favorite Mennonite shop yesterday. She has some "Ohio" fabric for $3.00/yard!! :shock: I bought some white and white for practice squares. I cut it up into 14 inch squares and even have the batting prepared. it's some old stuff that required 1/4-1/2 inches between quilting. Made me laugh. WHY would anyone use it??? :roll: :lol:

So--my goal for the summer is to learn, well at least practice, as much as I can. My machine has a short throat so wall hangings, maybe lap quilts are my goal. The bigger stuff will still go to the quilter. But if I would do a good job on sutff 40" square and less, I'll be happy.

Aren't you proud of me? :D
