    Default I got time on a Long Arm Quilting Machine for Mother's Day!!

    I opened my Mother's Day gifts this morning and it was a gift certificate to an area quilting studio. They rent out time on their Long Arm Machine, but you have to take an hour long class on the machine first and get "checked off" before you can rent. They charge $50 for the class so I never bothered. DH bought me the class for Mother's Day!!! WOOHOO!!

    He also said that if the class is during one of his trips to just go ahead and get a sitter instead of waiting for the next class - the man went all out this year!

    (he's seing $$$ down the road though - in the next few years we'll be purchasing a Long Arm machine and once I'm proficient at it I'll start quilting for the public) Even though I'm sure he's looking at this gift as an investment - he's still my Prince Charmgin!!!!
