Frugal Pattern Quilt Block Swap (Sign-up ends 6/18/11)

[jc12551]

I will be squaring up my 7" blocks to 6.5".

I am still on the road (well at a friend's house), we haven't been able to fix everything on our RV. We think we are getting on the road and finding an RV dealership on I-40 before we go over the smokies. My family has been called for my grandfather's death vigil and we need to get back to TN ASAP. I maybe AWOL longer than originally planned.

I have 4 extra's I can send you one but I need to see if they work. They are old, I know one works but it weights about 50 pounds.

Thanks so much!
That's really nice of you - if one of them works, I'd love to borrow it!
I wonder what shipping on a sewing machine would be??

I figure, if I decide I love quilting, I can get this:
http://www.amazon.com/Brother-XL-37...?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1309375052&sr=1-10

Do the experienced quilters feel this is an adequate machine for some light quilting, repairs, and some hemming??

I used to counted cross stitch and knitting, but it is too hard for my fingers anymore - so this might be a GREAT replacement!

I really like the one Acre posted and have been keeping my eye on the Singers.

Here's the one I have. My husband surprised me with it a couple of Christmas's ago and I really like it. Considering he knows absolutely nothing about sewing I think he did a good job of picking one out!!
