    Walking foot (if it didn't come with her machine), sense of humor, IOU for help, nice (nice I mean big) wine glass and a bottle of wine (for those nights that she'll be FMQ)! Oh yeah, I forgot, chocolate.

    Me, too! Sometimes I think I make a quilt twice - once the wrong way and once the right way! At least I get twice as much experience that way!
