    I tried to post this once, so if it shows up twice - sorry! My friend has a long arm and invited me to come use it. She has seen my pile of quilt tops!!! I went this afternoon and I quilted this lap size flannel quilt. I plan to give it to my husband for Christmas. It is not perfect, but I am very happy with it for my first try! The thread blended with the fabric so I couldn't always see where I had been or where I was going! I still have to put the binding on, but I was too excited and had to share with you. She invited me to come back tomorrow to do another one. I hope she doesn't get too tired of me!!!
