This weekend, 20 years ago - my life changed completely! =D
As a first-time vendor at a Quilt show in Alsace /France, I had the best booth neighbors ever! :)
APQS from Iowa was next to me.... and their magical "Millie" - aka Longarm machine- caught my full attention ( instead of working in my own booth ;) ).
I couldn´t resist, I couldn´t get my fingers loosened from the handles .... no chance at all =D - I wanted to (longarm) quilt!
Call it love from the 1st second, addiction, or destiny - maybe all of it! =D I got hooked!
And after 20 years I am still bonded with my Millie, Freddie, and Lucey - what a journey of successful quilting for my customers and me, uncountable stitches and miles of thread, tons of (P)fun with Longarmer friends, happy students and thousands of flown miles across the globe to teach.
Of course - I ordered a Millie - otherwise, I would not be the artist, the person, the quilter, or the teacher I am today!
Thank you for your wonderful machines and company!
A happy Longarmer, your Claudia =D
