Lynn, two beautiful quilts.  You really do get tops done fast.

Wow, I like those!  Dots and dashes looks easy.

Thanks!  Who knows when I get around to getting it quilted.

Thanks for the kind words, ladies.  I do enjoy piecing.  Just need to convince myself to not start something else until I get some quilting done.

Lynne I really like that one.Was it hare to do?

Thanks! Not hard at all.  It was paper pieced and Jonna posted the pattern a while back.  I'll see if I can go back and find it.

Since most of your quilts go for charity, you need to find a long arm quilter that quilts for charity.

So there I am humming along with Lily Aurora, using a new pantograph ("Malachite" by Patternman) on the "Bead" quilt and all of a sudden my laser stylus's light starts going  winky-blinky on me.

I had advanced to the second row and the little red light starts acting all temperamental, PMSing like a hysterical female, now bright red and now mysteriously absent. Okay, twinkles, what's doing on here? Unplug, replug, focus, refocus ...

Call in DH, master electrician of the house, to wave his magic fingers over the problem and he tells me that the wire has gone haywire, so to speak, and it is time to get a new laser stylus for Lily Aurora.

Noooooo!

The quilt shop that sold Lily Aurora to me eleven years ago has closed up (owners retired) and when I check the HQ website their store locator page is non-functional. The HQ website is not much help  when it comes to shopping for a laser stylus and so I send a message via their "Help Page".

And now I must wait.

Good thing I have two other projects to keep me busy. You guys who work on multiple quilts at the same time have the right idea.  LOL

It is a holiday weekend ....

The light on my handle bar went out last week. Looks like I can get a replacement at Home Depot. 

I have had pretty good luck with HQ's customer service, give them a call.
