I have got on and prepared some appliques that I can do by hand that will go into a charity quilt, and maybe I could finish off all those almost finished embroideries, and maybe I could even do some housework and baking and ironing. How boring! Will I last the distance? :-(
I have tried to get my LQS to have a number system or something to call us a day or two before they need it to work on. This hasn't done the trick, unfortunately.

Then I found a friend who is a licensed machine repair person who will repair my machine on appointment. The best ever solution for me! A same day turn around.

In the old days I would be in withdrawl and would work on planning my next quilting projects.

Make the most of your withdrawl.
