This week I sent another quilt out to be longarmed. I am trying two new longarmers this month. One of them is at an LQS and one of them is a women who opening a new business. She used to work for my regular longarmer, so I know she will do a good job. There is nothing wrong with my regular longarmer, but she is quite expensive, and I have a backlog of quilts to get done.
Used this week: 0 yards
Used year to date: 69.875 yards
Added this week: 5.5 yards (Backing, fat quarters)
Added year to date: 71.875 yards
Net Added: 2.0 yards

In cross stitch news, I pulled out Sleepy Hollow again. While I was in Virginia Beach visiting my parents this week, I went to Dyeing to Stitch and took a look at all their beautiful cross stitch models. They have Sleepy Hollow on display, and I talked to the ladies there about how to fix a counting error I had made on mine. Now I'm motivated to get working on it again. It won't be done for this Halloween, but at least I plan to work on it.

I love my regular long armer, too, but, I found a quilt store, about 1.5 hours away, that only costs $40 for a lap quilt and $60 for a twin size, so, worth the drive for a simple quilt that needs to get done. My 'special' quilts will wait for my regular gal.
