The George

George is a sitdown longarm quilting machine--20" throat, awesome speed, uses any kind of good quilting thread. I had so many people inquire about him before I bought the guy. Now, everyone is so busy and leery, that no one's come to visit him. He came with a big red bow on his box and is set up ready to quilt like crazy. I hope people don't think I'll cram him down their throats, because I don't do that. Quilting machines are expensive. If anyone buys one, it should suit their needs and wants perfectly. You need to do the "Happy Dance" when you're home alone with your machine. Anyway, I'm enjoying the heck out of him. If anyone wants to keep him company, I'll let you!

Welcome 2012

Happy New Year! Despite some physical impedence, I am making progress in setting up the sewing studio so that it maximum use can be had.
We are also making progress in shedding pounds, not just in getting rid of fabric and excess sewing machines, but from the body. Anyone else making such a resolution?
Enjoying the new kitchen and the fabulous Bertazzoni stove. Just ordered some more red accents to go with it.
Making sure lots of fabric is being used up this year. Quilts, aprons, etc are on the design board.
And, do you own a Keurig machine. Have one in the studio and just made an awesome Earl Grey tea with it.
I leave you with one saying: Be kind. It works.
