Why is the space on a longarm sewing machine between the needle and the motor called the throat and not the armpit?
Since the Machine Quilting Show I quilted this orphan sampler for church. They are fun to quilt, but without any practice to memorize the quilting design for each block it was easy to get confused. So I ripped a little more than I would normally. I try to keep the quilting on the light side for these quilts, but sometimes it isn't easy. Maybe it is time I quilt one of mine again. I see I will have to play with this new camera a little more. The color isn't the best. Here are a few closeups.
It was great to see so many familiar faces in the crowd last night. More than one gal was surprised to see that it was me doing the program. We both attend the BenFranklin club way over in Oconomowoc, and I never let on there who I was. Sometimes I try to be just one of the gals and it is easy at a shop club as opposed to a guild meeting. Things aren't as "social" there. And here's a few things I learned at the meeting last night:
Grandkids can cramp your style, but in a good way.
I have lots more local mystery readers of my blog than I thought.
I have more than one "biggest fan" in Wisconsin.
Sometimes Walmart clears fabric at 75 cents a yard.
Happy quilting.

I think that I am your biggest fan in Conestogo. Throat vs armpit. hmm, will try not to let that keep me up tonight, but a funny thought.
