I usually don't find anything quilty on Craigslist that's not a long way from home. After seeing how Dolores finds so much good fabric there, I checked it again this morning. I found an ad for a Juki 2000 machine with a Grace frame at a good price in the next county. I contacted the seller by e-mail and, lo and behold, she is someone that I went to grade school and high school with!

I called her and we caught up on what each of us has been doing for the past 40+ years then I asked about the set. She said she ordered the machine and frame combo from Kathy's Quilting, but has never used them...never took the machine out of the box! She said she has post polio syndrome and it's getting too painful for her to stand or even sit and sew so she's selling the set. She dropped her asking price for me and is including some quilt tops for "practice" and some fabric from her sewing room. I'm going to look at them tomorrow with cash in my pocket. I'm driving the truck and, if all goes well, I'll have a quilting machine and frame for DH to assemble by this time tomorrow!
