OMG my hubby is trying to fix my speed control on my frame, it just freaked out and went to hypersonicdrive!!! Not to panic, I've already got a bypass planned (jimmy rig central) if he cannot fix it. I've still got another 6 hours of quilting! Yikes!

Still trying to figure out the wiring problem, told hubby gimme back my handles without wires, I'll bypass with my foot pedal, just have a smaller L-R field to work on (cord limitations)... I'm getting ready to start again for the day, dragons are fed, and I've had mondo coffee with Peppermint flavoring yum.

well, we never did get the wiring figured out. Not sure what the heck happened, we tried rewiring every configuration possible. Very klunky and awkward trying to use the foot pedal with foot, and steer with hands. That was a whole 'nother body motion that I wasn't programmed for at the last minute. So, presented the quilt, and while they are on their honeymoon, I'm doing the last few hours of quilting the old fashioned way, without the frame. Hubby is determined to figure out that wiring for me soon.
Wedding was beautiful, and we had great weather for the drive both ways. Kids and I had lots of fun even tho daddy was missing from our group... was glad to get home to him :)
So here are pics as the quilt was presented, basically I have a few more hours of FMQ to do, then pack it up and ship it back to groom's mom for safekeeping :)
