How does one come up with these things? 

Guess when you are writing a book about "how-to" machine quilt, the words just happen...well sort of

I often wonder what would we do if this incredible creative medium did not exist?!

Besides....
what we do is joyful, exhilerating and sew addicting...this is for you my talented quilting friend.

The Machine Quilters Oath© 
Remember to stand and raise you right hand and proclaim 

I (say your name) can machine quilt.

I will approach my machine with confidence and dignity.

I will give my machine a loving name, and all the oil it wants.

I will not be afraid to try, I will enjoy the process.

And I will become the machine quilter I want to be!
