Anyway, my friend came over on Friday and quilted a monster quilt on my machine. It came out really nice and the machine performed well! Here's the back:
Here's the front! My friend is on the left, the best looking guy I know on the right, and my friend's daughter in the bottom left.
A close up of the quilting.
The machine in action!
Another action shot. Exciting, isn't it??I've been really wimpy about putting an actual quilt on here. I have done some practicing, but didn't feel 'good enough' to do a quilt yet. My friend came over, loaded up her quilt and quilted away having never machine frame quilted before. She did great! the quilt looks terrific! What the heck am I so afraid of, anyway???
Went to the OKC Winter Quilt Show today - ALL day!!! It was great. Pics later.

You are having way too much fun with this machine!! what a beautiful quilt your friend did!! I love quilts, and I'm convinced they are all beautiful! I'm enjoying checking in on your blog. You tell such neat stories, share your wonderful projects (love your books!!) etc. I'm so proud of you and your Mamasan would be too!
Love you!

Good Evening fellow stashbuster, Just found your blog on the stashbuster's blog list. I have a shortarm quilting machine also. Mine is a little newer, it's about 7 yrs old. If you want to see it I have some pics on webshots

I had a terrible time learning how to use it, but I did and now it's great. I still wish I had a long arm or a midarm, but you know... that money thing.
Good luck and have fun,
cindy
I upload the picture on my blog in reverse order. It's the only way blogger lets me do them right. I also load the pictures before typing the post.
The quilting looks great! If you make yourself some pantographs then you won't need to learn to do the designs sideways or upside down. Making your own is much cheaper than buying them.
