Maria (proprietor of Red Fortune) stopped by to chat. |

Could that be Glenna talking with her hands? |

Cathy Graney was very gracious to allow us to invade her home/quilt shop! This is the awesome machine she uses to quilt. |

She actually demonstrated how the machine works by sewing a few stitches. |

Michael & Karri browsed, while Hannah checked out the batting and lovely quilts Cathy has made to demonstrate various quilting patterns. |

The "Millennium" long-arm quilting machine! |
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc11tafIXOmMag0_KMlvW69BNSPXFgzuAw4KqtRSTn2fX2EUxwMQe1syZBnT8fCMPQMwTPfeDiSUVsw2skgpun-6YfRMjHS5MV3WcHU5chWxb9n_E9srwgBBK9AbNgxraVFtBkGX4OZJ8/s320/S7300593.JPG) |
Again, the machine, with some finished quilts as background. Cathy has many quilts she has made available for customers to view, as they make their pattern and thread selections. |

Cathy taught us a little about how her long-arm machine works. |
We met at Red Fortune in Bonner Springs for a delightful lunch, and then we drove to Cathy Graney's (Next-Door Quilting) for a demonstration of long-arm quilting. Michael & I were happy to leave quilt tops with Cathy to be quilted, and Cathy very kindly allowed us to look around and ask questions! I think we were all happy to understand a little better the process involved in having our quilts completed.
We missed having Betty with us, who is already back at work :(. Also, Cindy couldn't join us today because of some (important) business with her husband. We agreed that this has been an excellent adventure -- time will tell if we are able to continue once school starts!
This was such a great way to spend the last quilt day together. Food always brings family and friends closer, especially at a round table. It also had me thinking wouldn't it be nice if we each brought a block to make a Sumner Quilter quilt that we could display at school?
