    Those Janomes know how to rope you in!! I have just a middle of the line MC4900, but it's so cool!

    BTW, I have only free motion quilted once and after watching all these cool designs pop onto your blog day after day, I am pumped to try it. I'm sure I'll be posting pics over at Gen X Quilters when I get started….

    That is a great quilting design, I love the leaf pattern!!!

  3. I finally got around to quilting and got to use two of your designs – River Path (kinda), and Modern Art (kinda). They're not as good as yours, and maaaaaaaybe are more *ahem* "derivitave" than "representational" (meaning you can see that they really, really want to look like yours, but kinda pretty much don't look anything like yours), but they're great for me and I had a really great time doing them. Your blog has really inspired me to push myself, not be afraid of failure, and take my nose out of my quilt. I didn't get too into quilting this quilt because of time constraints (I'm still really slow at quilting, wihch is exacerbated by not having all the proper tools), but I am proud that I moved out of my nothing-but-straight-lines past. I am highly motivated to use my newfound skillz on my next quilt for my sweet daughter. I will absolutely invest the time to make hers spectacular.

    I blogged about it here: http://stitchinmysideregan.blogspot.com/2010/07/t-shirt-quilt-completed.html

    I have almost finished a machine embroidery course, which I've really enjoyed, but I can honestly say that I've learned more from your blog and tutorials than from my course materials! I absolutely love stitching and find your blog so inspiring. It has taught me to take off my pefectionist hat, which makes me reluctant to start quilting in case I mess it up, and just get stuck in. No, my stitching isn't perfect, but it's getting better every day and my confidence is growing. Thank you, Leah.
