Long arm class

Sep 29, 2006 12 Replies

Well, I took the long arm class in Texas last week. I learned some good stuff about starting a business, but most of the class is a review of what is on the video that came with my machine. I ended up driving back and forth both days instead of staying overnight in Texas. I just wanted to sleep in my own bed. I had just made a trip to Illinois for my grandmother's funeral about a week earlier and I've had my fill of hotels for a while. My Grandmother had requested a blue lap quilt a few weeks ago so I quickly made her a blue Burgoyne Surrounded lap quilt and quilted it on my new longarm. She had the quilt for about two week before she died. The quilt went with her. Sorry for being so out of touch with everyone lately. I haven't been in much of a quilty mood.

I was sorry to hear about your grandmother but I am sure she loved her quilt.

I can just Burgoyne Surrounded in blues - a favourite colour of mine.

Howdy!

Hugs, Karen.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Karen. It's certainly understandable that you'd be out of the mood lately, but you can take a bit of comfort, I hope, in the fact that you gave your DGM the quilt she wanted and that she knew you cared that much about her.

So sorry to hear about your grandmother, Karen. Hugs and condolences on the way.

Grandmothers are so very special, I'm so sorry about yours. Sending hugs, Polly

Thank you Jaqueline.

Thanks Cheryl. The Burgoyne Surrounded quilt was pretty quick to make. Mostly strip piecing. The pattern is in the book "Quilting for People Who Still Don't Have Time to Quilt" by Marti Michell. I just modified it a little to make it the size my grandmother needed.

Thanks Sandy. Hugs are always welcome.

Thank you Sandy. Yes, I am glad that I took the time to immediately make the quilt she asked for. I really would have been upset with myself if I had delayed making it.
