Myra~ I go there to quilt. It is a midarm machine set up on a frame. This photo, from my first trip to the shop might give you an idea of how it looks. ;-) You stand and hold onto the handles and move down the length of the frame, quilting as you go. Or if you are doing a pantograph, you can stand behind the machine and follow a little laser light on your panto. They have handles on the front and back. :-)
The blocks in this quilt are from a swap I did in 2007. I designed my lay-out in EQ. It was fun to play with the Monkey Wrench blocks, come up with an alternate block and then put it all together. ~Even more fun to get it quilted! LOL :-) I used an all over butterfly pantograph. The back is red on white fabric, the light makes it look a little yellow. It's not. :-)
~~Yikes!~ blogger tipped my photo again. :-/ One of these days I will remember to resize them the right way! Sorry.
Until next time~
Take happy stitches!~ :-)

I love your backing fabric - so PRETTY.. My mom and grandma never used anything but plain old white... but I lvoe it when the back fabric matches with the front.
