Wow, that's an impressive list!! Re #4, check out Christina Camelli's class on FMQ - she's an awesome teacher and her techniques are a little different from other stuff out there. RE #7, I'll be at Paducah on Saturday - will you? Would love to meet up in person! While you're there, take a look at the BlockRockIt mid arm quilting machine (14") - very reasonably priced, and I love the way it feels - very much like my much more expensive 26" long arm!

Good luck with that list!!!
