Long arming it


I've got to finish up piecing the back for this quilt top and then Thursday morning I'm taking it to my long arm quilterNot because he is going to quilt it on the long arm machine.  But because I am.


Can't.  Hardly.  Wait!

It looks beautiful. I'm a sucker for a star quilt. I'd love to learn how to long arm quilt some day.

Oh, what a quilt. I can't wait to see it backed and long armed.

One day I'll try that, too. If only to be a ladybug on the wall to watch. ;)

I love this quilt. I once quilted a quilt on my friend's LA machine. It was amazing. Are you going free motion or a pantogram??
