On Sunday the 10th I got a day off and was able to go over to my friend Cheryl's house with my Sister and friend Gloria. Cheryl has a long quilting machine and we had discussed me quilting one of the charity quilts that I made last year at one of the retreats. So she already had it loaded when I got there. So I got to long arm quilt 2 charity quilts. Yay!!! I've always wanted one and someday I'll get one but boy can you get a quilt done quick on one of those. For my first one I did loops and meandering. 
Then on my 2nd one I wanted to try a pantograph so we loaded a couple of pieces of whole cloth. The top had leaves so I picked a pano with leaves. Makes sense right. LOL
Here is it on the machine -
I did discover you need to chill on trying to follow the Pantograph so close, that causes you to jerk a little, you kinda just need to go with the flow of it.
All and all I was happy with my work. I have been working a little bit in the evenings on my embroidery - I got the people in the sleigh done. whew that took forever. I'll show pictures of that later, since it's my OMG.
I had today off Sunday 1/17. I tweaked a muscle in my back so didn't want to do anything too strenuous, but I was able to make a couple more of the little zipper bags. These are for a friend at work. 
I want to make a few more of these but they take a special zipper so I need to stock up.
For the rest of the day , I took a nap, a walk and then made dinner.
That's it for now, need to finish up and wind down, going back to work tomorrow.
Have a blessed evening and I'll check back in a few days.
