Thanks everyone for your praise, I really appreciate it :D

I think I will have to look into the extension table for my machine. I always felt so awkward when trying to maneuver (sp?) the quilt around for the FMQ. I have a Janome Memory Craft 4000. Any of you have an ET for your JMC 4000 machine? I would so love to graduate from "ditching" and move on to FMQ.

There are a few 'hiccups' where panic set in when I realised I was getting too close to another line of stitching, but what the heck, it's my first real attempt and only my 4th quilt (the biggest!!), and as you will see it has been 'approved' by the quilt inspector!! :D

a bit late on the "WOW THAT"S AWESOME", but that is really, really great!!!

That quilt is beautiful... so bright and cheerful, Great job with the stippling!

How old is your "Ryan"? Mine was 26 in December. I also have an "Erin". I call them my little leprechauns!
