Raelene, how wonderful - that must take up alot of room - how will you store it and set it up again or can you leave it up? where's the pictures?

It does take up room There wasn't room in the sewing room so it is set up in the family room . Hubby says he might have to build another room

Congrats, is it a hand quilting frame, or a machine frame? Either way, they take up lots of room.

It is a machine frame

Good for you...I have had the Handi quilter frame for a few years and liked working on it, but now my life is just to busy to be able to do quilts, so it's out in storage. My husband built me a 14 foot table for mine so they take up lots of room. ENJOY!

Well, personally I never would use the words fun and quilting in one sentence... ;-)
but a quiltframe with a quilt in it makes a beautiful home decoration too.
Please show your project!

Congrats honey, I got mine a few months back and just love it. It takes a while to load your quilt but what fun and boy is it easier than trying to manage this big things on your regular machine. Like everybody else let's see a photo and have lots and lots of fun!

Hey Glenda, I was watching Simply Quilts and caught the guest quilter say she and her husband rode Harleys all around Pa.
I did a double take wondering if it was you as I hadn't heard her name.

Needless to say I was glued to the rest of the show, but alas, it wasn't you.

Some lady named Karen ???

Lucky You! I always wanted one. I even told the sales person if they ever sell the small display model I would like to buy it. That way I can practice on smaller quilts and have fun. (As if Im some expert.....ha ha I made I King quilt and a small wall hanging with no quilting. It just seems like fun to own one. Enjoy and let us know how it works out

Congrats!! I was going to say "let us know when you get good" and then see if you take on customers. However, I noticed you are in Australia, and that is TOO FAR from Indiana. Have fun??? (or) Have fun!!
