Through the years I have had a lot of spells of not sewing. Sometimes for years. I still added to my stash though. Mostly for the reasons everyone else has had spaces. The last one was for about 2 years and I didn't even look at sewing things or keep up with anything, I didn't think there would be anything new out on the market so I never even looked. Then I started sewing again and reading the mags. and ads, etc and found out how wrong I was. There are so many bright people out there bringing new and interesting things out all the time for us, it is amazing. I don't see a lull in my sewing for years to come now! I am hoping.
