I am just so excited! My baby was delivered yesterday evening!! It is a Bailey Home Quilter! I just can't tell you how long that I have wanted one of these. I didn't realize that it would be delivered yesterday until about 2 hours before it got here. I was pacing the floors! :) By the time that Richard got home and I was showing him everything about it, I was all teary-eyed!
I don't have it on the frame yet, but should within the next couple of days. My frame is not done yet, because I didn't actually expect the machine for another week or so.
I did play around with it while I had it sitting on the table. It sews great! Didn't even have to adjust anything, just threaded it up and started sewing! I could go ahead and quilt a quilt on it while I have it on the table but I will probably just wait until my frame is done.
Now maybe I can get these 70+ tops quilted! :)

Oh I know you are excited...Learning a new skill will be great.
I didnt realize that you were so close to getting one! That's wonderful!
can imagine how excited you must be. Please post a picture once you have it all set with the frame. Happy hours of quilting!!!
Looks like a great machine. 70 quilts to be quilted should keep you busy for awhile. I love the blocks from the previous post.
How wonderful!! I can't wait to see which one you quilt first. Gotta get Richard to put your frame together soon!!
Kristie,
Your new toy looks wonderful. Have fun learning on it and post lots of pictures. Winona
I'm excited with you. I know you will have those quilts done in no time at all.
WOOO HOOOOO!!!! I thought you were going to wait for the house to be finished. WOOO HOOOO!!! Congratulations! I know you have wanted one of these for a long time. That pile of quilt tops is going to go down quick.
Oh my! You are one lucky lady! THat looks like such fun. You'll get good in no time with all the quilts you have to do (and when you run out, I'll ship mine to you - hehe).

I am so happy for you Kristie. I wish you many many hours of quilting pleasures. The feeling of accomplishment and joy, when you take the quilt off the frame is just undescribable. It's just something you have to experience for yourself to appreciate.
I can't wait to see pictures!
Be blessed,
Michelle

If you run out, I am sure there are lots of us who will send you one or two! Congratulations!!!!!

Awesome for you!!! How exciting! What frame are you putting this on? I am looking for a machine for my Little Gracie 2 frame-I will fuss over buying one and finally do it a couple years from now. ;)
Have fun!
