I'm looking forward to getting back to my quilting projects and clean up that free machine that I got before the holidays. Yup! I would rather make quilts too.
Yup, I told all the kids that I don't sew anymore! Then I actually volunteered to make fancy Halloween costumes -- one was a Genie, 3 layers - lining, silk, overlay, the other one was Alice in Wonderland, again lining, satin, and a corset! Ug! I complained the whole time I was doing them! Quilting is my thing now!
Please post a picture of "that free machine you got before the holidays." I am getting itchy feet to go thrift shop shopping since the garage sales have pretty much stopped for the winter!
