I started quilting Hailey's baby quilt on my long arm machine, and boy, am I humbled! I can't make it do anything! I am a complete novice! Even though I have quilted award winning quilts on my home sewing machine, the long arm is a whole different animal, and I have NO SKILLS which transfer. It is depressing. I am looking to attend the big long arm quilting convention in Salt Lake City in May (HMQS) so I can learn the basics.
And I am posting this link for my sons Seth, who is a tinkerer, and for Adam, who is interested in 3-D printers. I think they would appreciate knowing about the artificial hand made for a fingerless 5-year-old boy.

That hand is pretty awesome.
