I finally took the plunge and attached the leaders to my Gracie EZ3 frame this morning! After watching various videos yesterday and this morning I finally got them on and I think I have them on the right rails.
Next up - making a quick fix to this quilt top - there is a seam or two on the edge that need to get restitched before I can press and attach it to the leaders. The backing needs a trim and pressing as well. This is my hand pieced trip around the world quilt top using 2.5 inch squares. I made this with the RSC Challenge a couple of years ago.
First up - a shower and breakfast before taking the kids bowling. Emily needs to pre bowl since she will miss bowling next Saturday while at girl scout camp. Then we have a birthday party this afternoon at the park. Hopefully the rain holds off until after the party. I might bring some hand work with me to work on while there. Then home to pin and baste my quilt to the frame! Finally.
The kids are on spring break this week so hopefully I can get some sewing time in during the afternoon/evenings instead of helping with homework and carting them to various activities.
Linking up with
Kathy's Quilts for slow stitching Sunday.

So exciting to get the frame assembled... it sounds like a huge lego project to build! hope you get to put some stitches in soon!
So exciting! I would want to jump right in and forget about everything else although the park does sound nice. We are having a very cold blast of weather with snow... and a lot more expected over the next couple days - grrrr.
Good job on getting your Gracie set up. Soon you will be able to start stitching your pretty top.
What a pretty quilt. So glad you were able to get Gracie up and running. Enjoy your day.
How exciting!! Hope it works out for you.
Your quilt is beautiful. Good luck with the quilting. Enjoy your day of running around with the kids
With a tempting new toy like that to play with, even the park would take a back seat! (As I sit here shivering as it snows outside. Again.) I hope you get to play soon!
How exciting to have Gracie up and ready to quilt - and what a quilt!
You will have fun with your new toy! Lovely quilt!
I am ready to get mine up and going. After our fun retirement trip. Dallas Show VERY disappointing.
Can't wait to see this on the frame !! :)
