lym95 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Margie informed me today that her machine is going to be tied up with customer quilts until August sometime. That means the first quilt I ever made in my entire life will have to wait. It also means that I won't get to enter it in the Ozark Empire Fair. :mad: I'm thinking I need a trip to Alaska. Shana, you got any free time on your LA between now and the end of July?? Or maybe KC. What about you Mary Beth? Or Carmen T., you're even closer...? Ah well, there's always 2010 mrmargie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 My machine is free at the moment. Want to come to Nevada? I am rural...but if you like to fish or watch baseball/softball...come on over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 well Mr. Margie I'm in NY, no where near the city, and you could steal time on my milli while I'm at work. I could also leave a honey-do list for you to work on in case you get bored! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagecl Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Can you quilt in the evening? Zippers are great for taking off and putting on a different quilt:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matildanme Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hey MrMargie, I'd hate to see you miss out on a blue ribbon at the Ozark Empire Fair so How's about Melbourne, the Swine flu capital of Australia lol I've only my own quilts to contend with and I have zippers! I'll even put a couple of "shrimp" on the barbie for you Cheers Satu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankiequilter Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Gee, Brad, I would have answered sooner but I was out on the lake catching walleyes Are you sure you would want to come here? You might get caught up swapping fishing tales with Mike and not get your quilting done :P:P I'm just using my Millie for my own quilts so you are welcome to use it if you want. I hate for you to miss entering a quilt in the fair so if you are really serious just give us a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lym95 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Some very sweet offers... Margie has mentioned that she needs to get her zippers on, she just hasn't had time... With fishing close or honey-do chores I'd feel right at home, so I'm not sure that will get the quilt finished. Shrimp on the barbie though... That's tempting! Not conducive to quilting necessarily, but tempting. Of course, I could slip over to Meg's while she's gone. Two months MIGHT be enough time for me to get this thing done... mrmargie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lym95 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Thank you Carmen, you jerk! I'd rather be catching walleyes than quilting too... Maybe that's why my quilt isn't done. :P We need to get together. We'll call soon. (don't eat ALL the fish!) Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lym95 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Shana, I can just hear the tears in your words, the sorrow over not being able to help a fellow quilter out... mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Awwww.... poor baby. Well, I am sure that you can find some ways to charm your lovely wife into letting you use the machine. There is a way to make it happen. Keep chipping away, bring her flowers, candies, say sweet nothings in her ear. Sweep her off her feet with romantic silly poems. Stuff like that.

witha'K'quilting Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Or what may be easier...install the zippers on the leaders so she can zip a quilt on/off and you can use it too. You may have dug yourself a hole by asking to use another woman's longarm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lym95 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Ha! If I thought the jealousy card would work, I'd have played it a long time ago. Margie knows she's the apple of my eye though, so no matter how much I flirt she never gets jealous! How do you deal with a woman like that?? Romantic poems, huh? How's this Shana: I'll bring you flowers and chocolates, I'll buy you dresses frilly, If you'll get your quilts out of my way, And let me use your Millie. I think I'm getting the hang of it! mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I am glad the jealousy card doesn't work. It wouldn't for me either. My husband and I are very secure in our marriage. How else would you have 7 children between the ages of 2 and 12? Huh? How about just asking nicely and offering to make dinner. That would work for me! The best to ya! We want to see pictures of the finished quilt. So...start cooking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boni Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Applause to the men on the forum! (((((((((applause)))))))))) Makes me feel secure knowing there's a man "around the house." I like Kristina's idea. Put those zippers on and stop whining! BTW Lovely poem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Brad, you make me ROFLMAO! You are so clever and funny... and a poet, too. But regardless of all that charm and witty words, the hard part is prying Mrs. Margie's fingers away from that longarm machine so you can get your hands on it for a few hours to finish your sure-to be-an-Ozark-Empire-Fair-blue-ribbon-quilt!

KathG Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 mrmargie, Love it, put a big smile on my face I'll bring you flowers and chocolates, I'll buy you dresses frilly, If you'll get your quilts out of my way, And let me use your Millie. mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lym95 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 We have an Ult I set up in the living room that I suppose I could use. I'm just thinking that, as a new quilter, I probably would benefit from the stitch regulator. Maybe I ought to just bite the bullet and learn to LA like Margie did. It'd sure be easier than thinking of all these ways to get her away from the Millie:D mrmargie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hey I think Margie should let you use the milli so you can practice and then of course you could finish some of those customer quilts for her and then go to the spa or work on something for herself!

Mary Beth Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I am working on my last customer quilt today....then my machine is going to be free for a while...but I don't know...walleye...quilting...walleye...I'm thinking I know which one will win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankiequilter Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 He could have both if he came down here, but I may have to rescind my offer. You notice he called me a jerk but I think he's jealous because I'm catching walleye and he's not! :cool::cool::cool: Ya gotta be on the water to catch 'em, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWBowser Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 If you could help me move my machine to my new house you could live there (it's on a lake) and quilt and I could live in my old house until you are finished with your quilt. It is in upstate New York, much close to Albany than New York City. You could fish and quilt. The BBQ will have to wait until you go home because all I own is a hibatche that doesn't sit level on the ground or table. Unfortunately there isn't much furniture there yet, only a twin size bed. But there is a lot of floor space. Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
