Christmas Came Early

Christmas came early to me this year.
back in this post i told you that my neighbor offered me a quilting frame.  her sister had given it to her & she not only didn't have room for it but isn't into quilting.  she sews but she doesn't quilt.

it took me awhile to get it all the way set up & ready to go.  life has been busy & some other things have come before getting the frame set up.


but, its up now & ready for a test drive.  i will admit i did have it in a different location & once i realized i would need to be able to move around the frame i decided to move it.  that meant moving a bunch of other stuff as well.  some of the stuff i have gotten rid of so all in all it wasn't a bad thing to do.

i got the leaders on it last night.  in the process i learned that i have them going the wrong way but i also learned that it really doesn't mater.

i have some play fabric loaded on it now.  sorry no pic of that.  so, the next step is to plug in the machine & take it for a test drive.

i still am in shock that this was given to me.  i have been wanting a frame for sometime now & just haven't gotten around to getting one.  now i know why that was.

so, a question to you readers.  i would like to do something nice for my neighbor who gave me this & i am looking for ideas.  a friend of mine suggested a quilt but i am not sold on that idea yet.  what would you suggest i do???

hope you all have a great weekend.
