    I just got finished boxing up my quilt top and backing and will be mailing it to Washington state this week! I have always admired Charismah's work and I was tickled when she said she would do it for me. I told her that she could do anything that she wanted to and surprise me because I know what ever she does will be gorgeous. I have needed to quilt this rascal for almost 2 years and never have gotten around to it and my wife is really wanting to use it for our bed. And with it being a King size quilt with a full drape the long arm was the way to go!

    But here is a little trivia for you, this is the only quilt that I have ever made using an electric machine.

    I can see why your wife wants to have it on your bed, it is beautiful -- time to start another

    Great top, about to be a great quilt! Sending a quilt to be Charisma-ed is a magical process. First, realizing that your top can be quilted beyond your own abilities and without any of your own blood, sweat, and tears. Then, the anticipation. When you see it online, the "omg, it's beyond anything I imagined!" and then more anticipation until you get the quilt back. Finally, you see it and touch it in person and it wows you all over again. Any regret that you didn't quilt it youself is dismissed by the exquisite workmanship and amazing artistry Charisma put in to your quilt.

    Beautiful Quilt and on an "electric DSM".

    I made my first quilt on a treadle, and I may never go back to electric.

    Enjoy!
