I can do it so quickly now that I don't mind it but boy do I miss those tools when I am at my Dad's......LOL!
Thanks!!

I am so with you on this! I LOVE the designing and piecing of the quilt but when it comes to the actual quilting, I procrastinate! Right now I have 4 quilts all sandwiched and ready for the quilting and working on a 5th! I machine quilt, but just don't enjoy it! Can't afford to send it out, so I must get to get eventually!
