Topic: Sewing Machine for sale
Hello,
I'm selling my "Husqvarna Viking Platinum 750 Quilt Edition" sewing machine.
I'm a quilter, and I've decided to upgrade and get into embroidery also. Always want more gadgets. I just found this board, so thought I'd see what's going on out here.
Anyway, this machine is gently used, about 1.5 years old. I bought it new and have been the only owner. I also have the matching Quilter's Kit to go with it (i.e. walking foot, free-motion foot, etc). It's a great machine for quilters, but easy enough for beginners to get sewing.
Please send me an e-mail if interested and I can give you all the details.
Thank you!

No fabric for 5 days????? Ouch! You will have to at least pack a few fat quarters so you can pet them. Actually, you won't feel much like sewing, but you will still enjoy fabric fondling while you recoup.
I love going to Paducah. Have you been there? Next year I plan on going but I won't be doing much looking - I am going to work for Eleanor Burns. I am a certified EB teacher and do enjoy working around her. I will be working the store, though, not much time to enjoy her.
The time goes much more quickly than you expect. How long has it been since you started out on this journey? It seemed somewhat slow as I was going through it but now that I look back, seems like it just flew by. I am two weeks out and get to start pureed foods in a week. wahoo! I haven't had a bite to eat in 16 days. It really isn't bothering me too terribly much. However, taking the kids to Taco Bell last night made me feel a bit sorry for myself.
Where are you located? What is the date of your WLS?

Topic: Looking for a Pattern
Hey everybody, I am looking for a pattern to do a Quilt with a Pygmy Goat Theme. Does anybody out there have a pattern for goats, or pygmy goats???? I imagine that I need Paper Pieced Pattern.

Hi, I am heavy into quilting and try to attend as many of the large quilt shows as possible. I especially enjoy classes with the names of those that have appeared on Simply Quilts.
My WLS date is for the end of October and just can't wait. The time passes so slow and dieting is so difficult especially the elimination of diet soda.
After discharge from the hospital, my husband is driving me to my mother's where I will stay for five days while he returns to work. That means, I will be without fabric and the computer. Now is the time I wish I had a laptop and dial up service.
I will survive and enjoy the companionship. Like to hear from you,
Adrienne

Quilting-wise, we just got back from a 2 week camping trip in Michigan. I meet two of my friends (one from Mich, one from SC) there and the moms piece while the kids swim, play tennis, roller blade, bike and such. We have a great time. It's a gated community - a place where it is safe to let your kids be kids. We all worked on the Star Log Cabin (not sure of its name) from the last issue of Fons and Porter. We are all in various stages of completion. It was more time consuming that we normally tackle while on the trip. They are proving to be lovely. Six days and six hours after getting home, I was in the OR having my WLS. That was this past Wednesday. I am doing well. I am hoping to make it through the night with just Tylenol. The week before the camping trip, my family went to Family Camp in northern Minnesota. We have had a very busy month! We are looking forward to finding out what our new normal life will hold. Whatcha up to?
Topic: RE: Is there anybody out there?
Yes it seems very - very slow. I check it about once a week to see if anyone has posted.
Kind of at a stand still quilting, don't know what I want to do next. Think I need a challenge. What are you up to? Take care - Robert from Northern Iowa

I have been disappointed with this board. I was hoping for lots of communication with other quilters taking this journey. There haven't been many at all.

Topic: Block Exchange members
Thanks to Quiltin' Wilson and the others in the block exchange. They are wonderful. Recieved mine yesterday and have been relishing them and wondering how to put them together in a top. Again thank you for the opportunity to do the exchange and will consider something similar in the future. Think when I am sewing, I'm not thinking of food. Take care. Robert from northern Iowa.
Topic: RE: new to board
Kathy,
I haven't had surgery yet. I just passed my psych eval last Friday. He said it could take up to two weeks for the trascriptionist to get the report ready for the doc's office. I have lost 12.5 of my 16 pounds of pre-op weight loss. I would like to lose around 135# as well. I really am hoping for surgery yet in June. I have a camping trip planned with the family in August and don't want to mess that up. To be 8 weeks out before the trip, it has to be by the latter part of June, otherwise, I will wait until September. I am working on a quilt for our bedroom (redecorating the room) that is made from Moda's Maison d'Noelle line of fabric from last year. It is going to be very pretty. I have 8 squares done and 16 more to go. Oh, that doesn't sound good. I hadn't thought of it that way. teehee Have a great weekend and be safe.
Topic: RE: new to board
congrats. on your banding. I have been having a problem with munching lately I think I do not know what it is but I am going to work on it before it gets out of control. I am going to check this site out and maybe get some ideas. I am starting a new quilt for the club we are doing christmas lap quilts for the senor citizens home. It is a great idea hope mine will be ok where I am new to piecing. well hugs and keep up the good work. Kathy
