Seems the woman is more into embroidery than quilting and needed the space and the money, but happily not a lot of money.
Maria has been jonesing for a long-arm quilter for years and was pretty much resigned to the idea that she would never own one.
The seller and her husband and I spent a couple of hours dismantling the frame 
Then I was off to the rural Crawfordsville home of Jim and Lauri where I was fed beer and pizza and allowed to crawl off to bed about 8 p.m.
I got up 12 hours later, had breakfast and gave Lauri a chance to touch the machine before Maria could – all in good fun, you understand.
Then I hit the road about 9 a.m., gassing in Crawfordsville and again amid a torrential downpour at Boomland and arriving at home at 4:17 p.m.
Maria’s working tonight, so we’ll wait until tomorrow to unload the car and figure out where to set it up.
