What's On The Longarm?

I made a promise to myself that I would become much more serious about machine quilting and improving my skills this summer; I needed to focus. I vowed a few weeks back to set aside an hour a day, every day, to work my way through the practice workbooks. I loaded up a practice quilt sandwich on Sundance and plowed through the first book: Bethany Pease's Modern Quilting Designs, a book on background fillers. I'm on the second book now, Pam Clarke's Design With Lines book #1; I'm on my second quilt sandwich too. I have been practicing freehand feathers in and around the edges. What happens when I get through with this book? Not to worry, I ordered more... my summer school books arrived last week:
It's not what's on the longarm that is occupying my time this weekend, though; it's what's under it:
Sure, Lucy Ann;
Nana's  all done for today.

Tomorrow's another day...
Life is Good!
