Hooked on Quilting

Yesterday, I actually did a Dear Jane block!!! It's called B-2, Sweet Tater Pie. I'm not excited about it, but it's finished. Seams weren't great and the points of the pie weren't perfect. If there's time and I'm not dead and gone by the time I finish the quilt, I'll re-do!!! LOL I also did Step 1 of the Doll Quiltalong. These are tiny!   I need to do my EQ7 Lessons, they are due tomorrow.

I've loaded Madeline on my Handi-Quilter and can't decide if I want to try freehand or use the Pro-Stitcher. I haven't done a quilt since November and I'm pretty rusty. Maybe some meandering? Stippling? I think I'll use it as practice. I'll let you know, if you have suggestions, I'd love to hear them! I need to finish this to use as my "Schnibbles" and "One Project a Month" challenges so I can't start my first block of my Dear Jane quilt yet. Darn!! The software is so similar to EQ6 so not much of a learning curve. I just installed it on my laptop for now. I did play with it a bit and these blocks are very, very, very small! This could take years and years. I was supposed to make 9 blocks the first month and I'm behind four months. I dare not look at months 2-4, if they are 9 blocks also, I'm 36 blocks behind already. Good thing I haven't looked! There's so many online BOMs that I've signed up for and have purchase...

Gosh, I just ordered it yesterday from The Electric Company ! I am shocked because I thought I'd read that if you ordered something after 11:00 a.m. Eastern time that it wouldn't be shipped until the next day!! I ordered it well after that and it's already here the next day!!! I'm a happy camper! Great service, EQ!!! Thanks. This means that I have to decide if I'm going to use a sewing machine to do this huge quilt! So many blocks and so many pieces. Hmmm...what do you think? Should I do one of each first? I want to start my Rainbow Jane!!! I'm just so excited. I might have time to install this before I go get my gray removed from my hair, but I have to decide whether to install it on the laptop or desktop. I have EQ6 on my desktop, maybe I'll use up one of my four installs and put both on the laptop not sure I want to waste one of my installs or maybe I do!! Anyone ever use all four of theirs? Since the DJ software is a stand-alone software, I wonder how ma...
