Hi I am so glad that you got to go on a shopping spree, sounds like you got a lot of good things. Now enjoy sewing with them. If you need someone to talk to you pm me anytime will be glad to listen, I am like you I don't have anyone to talk to here either, my hubby isn't in the best of health so I stay in most of the time, I do have a close friend that comes over sometimes she is on this board, Debbie Umpress, but she stays really busy, so I know how you feel with out having someone to talk to, so you pm me anytime ok. Hope you will have a great day sewing. Sending HUGS
