I went over to a friend's house last night and she let me quilt on her long arm. This is the first time I've ever quilted on one and it was kind of intimidating. I took a small community service quilt and quilted it. I used an edge-to-edge pantograph and it went pretty quickly. Wow, what an experience. This is not as easy as it looks. My friend, Judy, makes it look so easy and effortless. Boy, was I wrong. I had to remember to breathe and follow the little lines on the pantograph, wow! I think I should have had a few glasses of wine to relax first. Maybe, I wouldn't have cared whether I was on the lines...anyway, I did one little quilt and she said I could come over and do more. I will be going over there to learn more. We had a ball last night together and it was alot of fun, even though it was very intimidating. Thanks so much, Judy, I loved it...Here's the little quilt I quilted. I know you can't see the quilting but I did take a pic of the back too. She said it wasn't bad for my first time.
Here's the back:
