I have been out of sight for several months. My summer came and went but I haven't a clue what happened to it. I do know it was topsy turvy and not a real stitch of quilting was done until just a few weeks ago. I haven't had time to write here participate in a swap or even read the message boards that I love so much. Hopefully things are beginning to slow back down though and I will again be able to enjoy the quilting that I love so much. The highlight of the summer was the purchase of a Grace Quilting Machine. (The origional). My sister saw it at a garage sale and bought it home the several hundered miles that it needed to travel to get to my sewing room. What a thrill. I love it and have been having a ball finishing up all the UFO's and WIP's I have had here for the last 20 years. Today I am laying out blocks from the "Black White and Bright" swap I did here some time ago. Now it is time to get back into the swing of things here. I have missed everyone so very much
