Mary Beth Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I just want to say....I have been doing to marathon quilting this past week or two, before Penny comes to get her "new" Millie. I use King Tut on the last quilt and did not have one sinle problem with tension or thread breaking....even used white thread on the back and tension was perfect. Now I am using Signature and, of course no problems there either. Penny is getting a great machine. I love no tension days!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmcclannan Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I love "no tension" days too especially if it involves thread. You will still come to Midwest Quilters events won't you? I'm thinking it's about time to get together again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Beth Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I have to tell you...I have lost my inspiration for quilting....I'm pretty sure they call it burnout!! I am trying to get it back. I have some unfinished projects, like my theme quilt for MQS - "Salsa, Chips and Margaritas" ...I really want to finish this one, but if I quilt it I will need to do so on my domestic machine or come and visit one of you all for the weekend and borrow/rent a machine Grandbabies...I can share....still inspired by them!!

Guest Linda S Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Hehehe - you didn't think you could get away from us so easily, did you Mary Beth? Once you're in this gang, you don't get out so quickly! You'll always be one of the family. Hmmm - it won't let me insert smiley faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 all i can say is wow! i guess i never thought this day would come. i know you thought long and hard about this and it is what is best for you, and that burnout is a drag, but it is still a little sad for me to think about you saying goodbye to your millie. i hope you will stay in touch and visit the forum often with your wit and pics of the cute grands. good luck to you, marybeth!

LeeAnn Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Now Mary Beth, you have to keep up on us here so we can keep up on you! Just keep posting pics of grandbabies and we'll all be happy!

Mary Beth Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Julie...what a great idea!! I could come and stay at your beautiful house, use your machine and all your CL toys....and you could cook for me!! I think I could love quilting again :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I typed a huge message to each one of you and the screen jumped and it was all gone except the message to Julie...must have been a sign I love you all....I will be posting from time to time with my wit. It is really hard to post suggestions when you no longer quilt...it feels like you are not worthy or something....weird feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharni Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Mary Beth, Please don't disappear. I am just getting to know you and enjoy you here. I am a new longarm quilter and I will need your wisdom from time to time I am sure. Look back on all the experience you have! I sense that being a quilter is kinda like being a cowgirl. I had a bad brain injury a year ago and cannot ride competition any more because my balance is shot. I had to sell my horse but my friends at the barn assure me that once a cowgirl always a cowgirl and want me to still come and hang out with them sometimes and go to their competition events when they are in the area. They loan me their well trained horses to just walk/ trot in the arena now and then. I am still and always be a cowgirl and I am even watching and giving suggestions to some of the new riders at the barn. See because these gals know you will always be a quilter, though not as often now, that is why they are offering to let you use their machines. You will honor them and the craft by accepting their offer. ;-) that is a wink symbol. Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaudiaPfeil Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 What about renting my machine here????:cool:Just asking..... Hugs.... Claudia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 OK Claudia, if Mary comes all the way over to Germany to vist, you will "rent" the machine to her. LOL You funny lady! :cool: PS: Did I ever tell you that I know someone that lives in Krefeld? His name is Wolf. Very wonderful kind man and his wife Monika. You know them?

LadyLake Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Mary Beth, You selling your machine, but so much belonging to this Forum group, reminds me of my neighborhood garden club. Many of the ladies have been members for about 50 years (nuts and mints are still served each meeting, and we don't get our coffee until after business is completed...). Some of the older members have sold their homes and moved out of the neighborhood into smaller homes, condos or apartments that are easier to manage. The garden club passed a policy that these people can remain members for life, even though they no longer live in the neighborhood. I hope you stay with us as well, as you are very much a part of this group, machine or no machine. We can still pick your brain with all of your past experiences.

Gator Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Claudia that is funny. MB silly girl, you will always be worthy. You helped most of us get started and correct me if I'm wrong but you were/are the "forum posting Queen", check out those numbers ladies and gents. You also have to keep Hallies "aunties" up to date! We expect to attend her wedding.:cool::cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenH Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Mary Beth, maybe your road is a circle and you will come back to longarm quilting later on!! Please stay on the forum, I love to hear about grandbabies!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Thank you all....you are all so good to me!! Claudia....I thought about you when I thought about "renting"....you and Shana and my friend Beth Duran. I had to concede the title of posting queen...I believe we have a new reigning Princess!! But I did hold the title for a good long while and have gone down in history as the person with a lot of nothing to say!! (smilies are disabled....I hate that!).
