Hi I am surprised to hear from you so quickly.
I have a Baby Lock ellegante, compairable to the 6000.I did all the hand work , emb, needlework crew, any thing except knit or crochet, now I just use the machine.I think I said I did not do any home made gifts this year, just no insperation. 2 years ago I made tree skirts and last year they all got placemats and napkins. but htis year I just am not inspired. I am not working beccause of a back injury and have plenty of time and I could start my own store with my "stash", but nope nothing.I finishe a top for myself just befor holleen and maby that is why. I also have a wall hanging on the cutting table right now, but for myself. I had everyone decorate a tree on an 8" block and I am joining them. then I will hang it and that is my tree for this year. I am alone and the "grands "would help put it up but then I have to put it away and that is way more trouble.Alsoo my shouse is small and this keeps the floor space open. there will be 11-12 of us for the hoiday.Have you had snow yet? It is in the 40-50 here today I know a heat wave to you, but with 70-80%humidity is is damp and dank as my mother used to say. and because it comes and goes so fast it is hard to get used to it. it will be back up in the 70's by Tuesday.But I would love a white Christmas as long as I could look at it out the window and not have kids to snowsuit for it.LOL. I live in Alaska one year and what an adventure that was. No I did not sew while I was there. I was a travle nurse and worked and travled the entire 18 weeks. I have always wanted to go back, but have not been able to . wow, I have rattled on . will let you go for now have a great weekend. DAPHNE
