Beautiful!!! I am curious...did you take class to learnor are you self taught. I want to do this so bad but can't justify the cost. I would hate to spend that much and not be able to do it justice

wow, love the pictures of progression.
What I'd really love for some of you long armers to do is post a picture of a quilt Before it's quilted at all, then show us how it is going along.
Thanks for sharing and so sorry you had such a butt kicking cold. At least it's on it's way out now

The section of this quilt that I am working on now I took a before shot as soon as I advanced so when I get around to posting you will see a big section of the quilt completely unquilted, then I took a shot before I did all the background crosshatching. I will post those with the completed quilt.

Hi MamaJack, for the most part I am self taught. When I first strarted researching LA quilting I had a QS about an hour from where I lived that rented time on an HQ16 but in order to rent you had to take a class to learn how to load a quilt on a rack and basic operation of the machine (on/off switch, guiding the machine, letting you freehand and try following a panto with a laser light and doing groovy boards) So I took that which was my very first exposure to a LA. I realized immediately the only way to get good at it was to practice, practice, practice and having a rental over an hour away wasn't going to get me the kind of practice and time on the machine I wanted to get to the level of quilting I aspired to. Yes, it is very hard to justify the expense of a LA. For me, I would dearly love for it to be my full time job and maybe if I am lucky I will get enough business that I can do it full time or it will be my retirement business. I love doing it and it is a passion so that helps as well. I doodle and draw a lot and that often translates to longarming, at least for me. I got my LA in July 2010. In April of last year I did take a class with Karen McTavish to learn McTavishing and get certified to teach it myself. So other than the initial hands on I took on the HQ 16, that is the only class I have taken.
