When one looks at the collective group of minis, I said to myself, what a wonderful talented group we are. Just give us the opportunity and the creative juices flow. I will anxiously await the posting of the needlecases/pincushions pictures. Cannot join that one, as I am recovering from a bit of abdominal cutting and have only walked through my sewing room. Lucy, my Bernina, says she misses me. Perhaps later this week. . . . Meanwhile, I keep myself busy w/an applique project.
