Tonya came to visit for a few days last month, so we took 3 of her baby quilts that she and a friend made and went to the Long Arm Quilting store. It was her first time using the machines. She caught on really quickly. It is very fun and addictive. Stephanie and I want to buy a machine of our own. We have done about 20 quilts so far, ranging from lap quilts to King size. Tonya did a cute bear pattern on one of them. It was a pretty hard pattern to use for her first time. I remember using a puzzle piece for my first one. The hardest one I ever did was the daisies. I kept forgetting if I had done all the petals.

All of your quilts have turned out so well! I really need to make a quilt top and try out that long arm.

So do you know someone who has a long arm or is it a company that lets you do it yourself? I have a quilt that I want done.

Melissa, It is a store by my house. They charge 15.00 per hour. (It was 10.00 last year)We have done quilts for other people. Call me about it. If you want to pay I will do it for you, or you can come and learn how. What size is it?
