A very special delivery....

happened late last week for me - something that has been in the planning for a few months...once unpacked, this is what it looks like!!! My new Gamill Longarm has arrived :)Had to try and contain my excitement for a couple of days as I had 'other' things planned than quilting and wanted to make sure that I had some decent time spend fiddling and seeing what I can do on this fab machine. So I spent a day practising on some calico - tried out the pantographs and free hand sewing - love the freehand - but then got a little bored with the 'practice'.... so decided to go for the 'real' thing and did two little lap quilts that have been sitting on the shelf for a little while. Not too bad I think at the end of the day.....cant show them on here cos they are for surprise gifts :)))

So its off to the studio for a little while to see what else I can do.....
