Bravery!

I finally DID it! I'm such a WUSS! I think because I messed up that panto last quilt, I was nervous about this one. I watched the Pajama Quilter Reloaded...NUMEROUS times, wore out one marker, doodled and doodled. Finally yesterday I ran out of excuses. I mean the machine had been oiled, threaded, bobbins wound, frame dusted, quilt loaded...all ready to go for almost TWO weeks! I'm still not 'panto' ready, but I picked a free motion design I had doodled alot..and just TOOK OFF! LOOK!




Can you see the 'paisleys'? I am loving this motion. Think this design will get me ready for feathers?? I HOPE so!

Sorry about the shadow. After this victory, the counter weights on my machine went south, and it took me about an hour to redo it all. :::SIGH::: I am hoping to get to Road to CA for a quickie day trip next week. I WILL be looking at mid-arms that I think will fit my frame.

OK, time to get back at it! I think I will quilt a big chunk of this today. My husband and older son went skiing/snowboarding today in Eastern AZ. They won't be home till late...and the young one has basketball practice from right after school till 5...YIPPEEE! I even think I MAY be able to fit in a couple loads of laundry, taking down the Christmas door decorations...and maybe get my nails done! See ya!
