Yesterday I went to the Bayberry Quilters Show. I managed to find some tools and such that I had been unable to locate locally. I also had the pleasure of taking the "Tin Lizzie" out for a test drive.I originally thought that I would have to learn to machine quilt before I purchased a long arm but I am now understanding that the two are different enough that it is not necessary. After all, you don't have to know how to ride a bicycle before you drive a car. This is the first one I have seen that I thought I could actually save for. Each week when I get my little paycheck, I put a portion of it into a savings account and this is what I am saving for. It had enough bells and whistles to make it easy to use but not more than I would ever use. There is even a storage area over the garage in our house plans that seems to be the perfect place for a long arm. I am planning on skylights in that area for additional light.
After all, it never hurts to dream.

It's very important to dream. If we stop dreaming then we stop living!
Dream are good to have and they are so much better when they come true. I love the blocks you are working on.
Oh - I sure hope your dream comes true! It can happen - I never thought I could have a longarm either.
So sorry to read about your mother - and glad to read that she is getting better.
