I don't want to make you jealous but it was 82 degress here this afternoon and my DH turned on the A/C. If I'm hot he's freezing and vice versa. I enjoyed the tute on back basting applique but I think I am going to try and glue my pieces temporarily. I am using a dark background and I don't want to make extra work for myself. I am already so frustrated with my sewing machine. I am trying to finish my DGD quilt and I finally got the stitches to lock and now the embroidery frame for my Janome 11000 broke and I am at another stand still. At this rate I won't be finished by June much less March 1.
