I just joined this group and am hoping to learn more quilting tips. I just purchased the Long arm Lizzie quilter and am planning on adding the Shirley Stitcher this summer. I made 3 quilt tops this winter while wintering in Winston Salem NC. I live in Grand Rapids, MI the other months and that is where the quilter is so coming this May, I hope to start quilting.

welcome, from NW PA. Hope you enjoy your Lizzie, a friend has one and she loves hers.

Hi,
I lived in Grand Rapids up until I retired. I love Grand Rapids but came to Texas to get out of the cold. I lived off Egyt Valley. I have 2 grown children that lived there also. Our son still does in Sparta and has his own business. I will be coming there this summer to see our grandchildren. It is really hot here in the summer time. Have fun sewing. Doris

Welcome from the U.P.! I was born and raised in the Grand Rapids area... we probably know some of the same people!

Hello Again,

We also had a trailer in Ludington MI. Greetings from Texas!!! It was 81 degrees here today but the allergies were bad! Do you work? It is great hearing from someone from MI. Doris

Hi and welcome to the board from Oregon, Have fun with your new toy. Penny

Welcome, Shirl: We're glad you joined us. Can't wait to see what you do with your longarm...make sure and post some pictures of your projects. It must have been hard to leave the LA in Michigan! I've gotten to the point in my life where my sewing machine gets packed in the car just like my toothbrush does when we do any traveling. don't want to be without it.

:wink: Welcome!

Well by leaving the LA in MI when I am in NC, it gives me a chance to make the quilt tops which I never seem to have time to do when I am in MI because I do alterations from my home and work at the Ronald McDonald house on weekends as manager.

Where at in UP are you? I have a friend and relative in Marquette, MI. I do all of my sewing business at Gall Sewing in GR. Have you heard of them?

What is the pillowcase project.
Would love to have the details/pattern for snap bags.

When we are in GR, MI, we live in Walker, MI which is considered NW GR. We live on 4 mile and Walker Rd which is just 2 miles west of Alpine. Would love to show you my projects when you are in the area if I am there then.
