I am getting a longarm for my 50th birthday!!!
 

I am so excited, and only other quilters would understand. For my 50th birthday, my mother and father, bless their souls, just offered to buy me a longarm. My friend has a Juki set-up, and while it is not by any means the most elaborate or expensive, I think it will work fine for me as well. I am just so thrilled and grateful to them for doing this for me, and I hope to show you all the quilts I will be able to whip out now!! Just kidding, I know it is a long learning curve!
Best,
Nancy

Happy Birthday to you!!!! Congratulations !!!

Congratulations. Enjoy your new toy.

Wow!! Happy BD to you. Enjoy your new toy. Post pics when you get it set up.

Happy Birthday and many happy hours on your new toy. You'll love it no matter how fancy it is (or isn't). You have some pretty nice parents.... and I'm betting you take good care of them!

Good morning,
I was thinking that technically this is a mid-arm, but I don't care!! I can quilt more quickly and with more variety now!! Thank you for your birthday wishes. And yes - I am blessed with great parents!!
Nancy

congrats

enjoy your birthday

Congratulations! Give your parents a hug for all of us whose parents are no longer with us.

What a great birthday present! I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Jealous and Happy Birthday!!!!!! Do your parents need another daughter?

So are you getting the same Juki set up as your friend? Enjoy it to the fullest, and I am doing the happy dance for you!

Yes, I am getting the same set-up as my friend. It isn't huge, or fancy, but it is going to do what I need it to do!!

I'll ask my parents if they need another daughter!! And, yes, I am so grateful they are still with me,
Nancy

What an awesome birthday gift! Congrats! I'm happy for you (and jealous as well). :)

Happy Birthday ...enjoy your wonderful gift....

wow, lucky you! Have fun with it and Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! You will love the longarm.

That is wonderful! Soooo happy for you!

What a fabulous birthday gift. We can't wait to see your completed quilts.

Nancy, My friend in northern NY is selling her Voyager 17" machine on a stretched Hinterberg frame if you would be interested. It would give you more quilting room than the Juki.

Happy Birthday & enjoy your Long-arm it can make quilting more fun to completely finish your project yourself.

Now I would be really excited to turn 50 with that kind of gift!!! Thank you to your mom and dad.
I have less than three years to go...hmmmm, wonder if I'll get one. LOL!
Enjoy your new longarm!!!

Happy Birthday, and what wonderful parents you have. I'm sure that your parents have a wonderful daughter, too. Take good care of them, and give them a hug for all of us who don't have our parents any more--miss them every day!!!
