I currently have the Janome 6600 and it is an amazing and wonderful thing!

It makes me wonder who is doing the judging...certainly not women! Laura: I knew you'd feel the same about the PW list...makes me think of leaving them off the notables list for the challenge this year!!! Katherine: Thanks for stopping in! I am happy to share your wonderful trailer!! Hope you also have a terrific Thanksgiving :) Deb: No problem...I'll see you over the weekend when we share what we're reading :) Gavin: Thanks! And I hope you are having a terrific week too :) Florinda: I loved your post! My top ten for 2009 ended up with 7 books by women! What were those judges with PW thinking?!?!??!? Teddy: Free motion is really fun...I expect it does get easier...and describing it as painting is perfect!

I almost feel like I'm painting with thread when I do it. With practice, it doesn't take long to improve. I love free motion quilting! I almost feel like I’m painting with thread when I do it.

And I think, once I hear you say (after week two, three, four?) you've got it down, I may have to go out and reward myself with a brand spankin new machine. I like hand quilting, but at this point in my life (working full-time to put 2 kids through college), it's just not feasible to take the time to hand quilt everything. If you're comfortable, perhaps you could let us know what type of machine you're using and whether you would recommend it. Good luck and happy quilting!

When I worked on my Weekly Geeks post, I ended up with 9 out of 10 books by women, but it's skewed a little because it's limited to books published in 2009. I'm very excited about the Women Unbound challenge, too! Thanks so much for linking to my women-writers post, Wendy :-) – I really enjoyed writing that one.

It's cold and wet here today. I just took a look at PW’s list and don’t agree with many of their choices, but I guess lists like that are always subjective. It’s cold and wet here today.
