Friday (3/11) was mostly about the:
with about an hour and half spent with 2 potential quilting customers doing consults about their quilts. One of them has an antique quilt and I’m going to get my friends Susie B and Sandy D to consult with me about what an appropriate quilting pattern might be. According to my customer, her mother is currently 92 years old, and the quilt was made by her grandmother.
I spent some time working up the longarmming cost on this quilt as she wants several things done, but when we talk I might try again to talk her into hand quilting it. She did it once before and enjoyed it, and I think the quilt would be better served with hand quilting....she was going to look into renting a frame.
I had a visitor in the early afternoon:
My honey came downstairs once he got home from his luncheon with the guys....so of course the whole crew came down with him:
(I did have an adorable picture of Ethel, but when I was taking it I didn't realize how much of my design wall, and the secret project was showing behind her :~(.

We watched ADAM’s RIB in the evening…Spencer Tracy/Katherine Hepburn…an oldie but goodie.
Why do kitties try to squish into the smallest spaces possible? Look at this top shelf, which is maybe 5 inches high and filled with stuff...Ethel is crazy!

Great video…cute pussy…. How old is quilt and would putting it on the long arm be dangerous?
Your looks dead. What was that deer eating? I know that antique quilt probably needs to be hand quilted but I think you have a baptist fan pattern or similar that would work if she decides on longarmming it. I am curious on what Susie or Sandy suggest.
