...things went pretty well considering I hadn't turned on a long arm in eight days. It felt so good to get back onto the boys.
Before I started anything, I had to find a quilt to load onto DW for Jim to work on. However, EVERYTHING in the queue is custom work. I did find one customer quilt Jim could have did some mark and quilted by block work on, but when I made the backing for it (she asked I do so), it was about four inches too short. I decided to get on Marty instead because I was so frustrated.

Since I could not load a quilt for Jim to do I instead taught him how to hand bind. My hand just isn't liking the process and since Jim can't quilt, he can do this. Here's his little work station in the studio...
Look familiar? The customer I did this for had an extra kit and we exchanged quilting for the kit since I thought this would make a nice gift for my DIL in Ohio. It's basted in and the ditching has been started.
When I got done on DW I cut and started the two BOW blocks I missed while in Shipshe. I didn't want to take all the fabric with me to have to sort through while there so I'll get caught up this week after 'work' when I can here.
Today I should be finishing up the quilt on Marty while Jim works binding before he goes back out hunting later this afternoon.
