I did it! I finished my first day of long arm quilting and am satisfied with my results. I obviously have a looooong way to go before I'll be rubbing elbows with Angela Walters, but it was a good first attempt and I look forward to renting some more time in the longarm studio soon... unless of course Santa has something really REALLY big planned for under the tree that I don't know about?? Hey, I can dream, right?!  playing around in class... Karen, the longarm quilting educator at Cotton Weeds Quilt Shop, was a wonderful teacher. Hands on, encouraging, and ready to go every time I needed a bobbin change : ) I look forward to having some more projects to work on so I can head back and get my FMQ groove on! Here are some quick pics of what I quilted. I'll follow up when the binding's on and the quilt is ready to go!  all set up and ready to go! it was good to start with such a busy quilt - really hid the mistakes well ; )  what I did on the center of the quilt - just alternated loop-de-loops and back-and-forth lines in each block... I was more brave in the border with words and swirly circles - I'll show you in the big reveal post soon! 11/16/2013 08:28:19
Thanks! I have held off because of how expensive it is to rent time, but now I wish I'd done it a year ago - so much fun! Hope you get a chance to try it in the near future, too : )
