delores62305 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 My wonderful husband and I just got home from attending the Des Moines Quilt Show. All I can say is WOW. We went to "shop" for a long arm machine and after trying out every machine there and talking to all the sales people, we left after ordering......a new LUCEY! I am soooo excited. First and foremost, thank you Dawn for putting up with us most of the day. After trying out the the Lucey, we left and went to other booths. We then came back and tried the Lucey again. Left again and tried out more machines. We came back a THIRD time, tried out the machine again, talked to Dawn AGAIN, and we were sold. We (ha -- my husband, Ron) now has to finish the basement studio for Lucey's new home. We talked about plans, training, ideas, etc. all the way home (about 4 hours away). I'm hoping to learn so much from the forum and groups. I will need all the help I can get. Delores Herren Quincy, IL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnCavanaugh Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Hi Delores, It was a joy to meet you and Ron in Des Moines! Here's another hug from Iowa and a big welcome to our APQS family. I know you and Lucey will have lots of fun together and Ron won't feel too bad about having to move out his pool table when he sees the smile on your face. It will be a great way to branch out your business in Quincy. Please let me know if you need anything at all or if that 4-hour drive home resulted in more questions we can answer for you. Talk to you soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
