The Beast is here!

She arrived Thursday, was assembled Friday and Monday and now she's purring like a kitten.  And who is this beast?



My new Millenium!!!  Yup, I took the crazy plunge, bought her, assembled her, and now she's mine.  I never thought years of assembling Ikea furniture would pay off, but this baby required all my Ikea allen key skills!



I've been playing away,  just using a couple of layers of cheap fabric for now.  Hopefully by next week I'll be proficient enough to tackle an actual quilt.  Nothing fancy, just stippling.  For now I need to work on not getting bigger and bigger as I go, and keeping track of where the needle is!
