Some people retire and have big plans of sitting on the front porch, sipping lemonade the rest of their life. Not my mom...
My mom buys cool new toys. This is mom's new quilting machine. It can quilt up to a king size quilt. It's AWESOME.
This is where you sew/steer this machine. You stand and move the handles and sew all along the quilt.
You have to pin the bottom, batting and quilt top to the machine just right.
Saturday was the first time mom quilted anything. She was just using some practice material, and free-handed this pumpkin. The machine is so cool! Now I really want to get Leah's quilt done so mom can quilt the top for me :)
Mom got the machine going really good, and quilted some really cool stuff, but I didn't get many pictures. I'll try and get a few more pictures before I go.
SO, in the end, I'm pretty sure mom won't be bored through her retirement!
