I had just asked Frank to put turtle wax on the bed of my machine to aid the free motion of the quilting. Yikes! It was so free that was a lot of the problem, it had a mind of it's own. Su swears she thinks waxing your machine is the hottest thing since paper napkins, but it must be for larger quilts with more drag.
So I haven't sewn since that day it seems. Too preoccupied with other things. We had a terrific Spring hike at the lake last Sunday and it was so great to see the water level up where it needs to be. This man-made rez is my community's water supply and we were already being asked to ration during the *winter* months. I wasn't looking forward to what summer rationing was going to be like.

Frank creates desktop images for his dual screen monitor set up, that's why some of the pictures I post are panoramas.

LOL! I know exactly how the little quilt on the waxed bed went - I had the same problem. But for those big draggy ones, it will be great.
Now - I need very badly to go lay in that grass by the lake --
Learning how not to do something is as valuable as learning how to do it.
I have donated many of my machine quilted pieces to animal shelters. They are often in need of washable towels, sheets or blankets. Some of the smaller ones that have been donated go to cats who I promise you will say not a single word about the quilting and I know that would love something soft to curl up on.
You always do such interesting experiments!
