Don't know if I'll ever get to Montana, but I am sure I could convince him to give a hand to fellow quilter. :thumbup:

I'll be in PA the end of August, maybe we could meet & I could convince you to vacation in Montana!

Please let me know when and what area you will be in. If it is close enough, we can definitely work out a time to meet! That would be totally awesome!

Wow! What a setup, I love it, and yes he is a keeper. I like how the tv is mounted on the wall and I'm guessing underneath it is the computer screen. What a great idea.

Yep you have a keen eye. It is indeed a computer screen. Use it with my machine embroidering and EQ7.

Isn't it great to have a hubby who spoils you? Especially in the quilting department! :D

What make of embroidery machine do you have? I just got a Husqvarna Topaz 30 and I'm loving playing with it and will embroidery anything that will stand still. I just finished a sweatshirt for my mother to keep her warm in the nursing home. I attached photos, hope they turned out.

I really love the sweatshirt. Did you have a pattern? The embroidery is beautiful! What type stabilizer did you use?

I didn't really have an actual pattern but do have a sheet of some instructions for doing the sweatshirt. The embroidery was just a butterfly I kept playing with. I seen a shirt similar in a catalog, not a sweatshirt, but with embroidery down the back like that, they wanted $49.99 for it. I maybe have $10.00 total in this one, bought the sweatshirt on sale for $3.00. If you would like a copy of the instructions let me know.

I used a regular weight stablizer on the underneath and a water solubile (msp) one on top to keep the design from being lost in the fabric. It is like the one you use for doing towels so you don't lose the design in the nap of the fabric.
