Greetings! I too have been reading and lurking for quite some time, and now I find myself anxiously waiting for the next notification! Guess it's time to confess I'm hooked. I'm the single mother of 3 (20 year old twin girls and a 17 year old son), I have more fabric than I'll ever use in a lifetime and I recently purchased an HQ Avante longarm. If only life would give me enough time to become proficient with it!
