Welcome, Shirl: We're glad you joined us. Can't wait to see what you do with your longarm...make sure and post some pictures of your projects. It must have been hard to leave the LA in Michigan! I've gotten to the point in my life where my sewing machine gets packed in the car just like my toothbrush does when we do any traveling. don't want to be without it.

:wink: Welcome!

Well by leaving the LA in MI when I am in NC, it gives me a chance to make the quilt tops which I never seem to have time to do when I am in MI because I do alterations from my home and work at the Ronald McDonald house on weekends as manager.

Where at in UP are you? I have a friend and relative in Marquette, MI. I do all of my sewing business at Gall Sewing in GR. Have you heard of them?

When we are in GR, MI, we live in Walker, MI which is considered NW GR. We live on 4 mile and Walker Rd which is just 2 miles west of Alpine. Would love to show you my projects when you are in the area if I am there then.
