  This week I have not pieced a stitch. Monday I learned so much in the Sue Nickels' class on machine quilting. I am a very slow machine quilter but have been working on Saint Stars 2 every day. 
   I usually send my tops and backs to DD#1 who now has her Bailey (Ms. B.) working properly. She did fantastic custom quilting on the Phaff System so I can't wait to see what she will accomplish now. She loves to quilt for others and money earned supports her stash addiction. 
  Tumblers will be the first quilt that she will do for me on that machine. I have 2 waiting but don't want to overload her with my quilts. DD#1 is also a prolific piecer and has multiple tops needing quilting. Her twin & king sized LSU Crystal Ball Quilts are amazing! I wish I were as talented.
  Later this year she will return my Phaff System to live in my den. Then maybe I will be able to quilt my own utility quilts and only sending the special ones to her. I can dream, can't I? 
  Lator Gators; I have a complicated prom dress to alter and Saint Stars 2 to quilt! Keep making Lemonade out of Life's Lemons.
