Sorry I didn't see your wave. Wished I had known you were so close. Which highway were you on?
I was at a threads class yesterday and finally have a better idea how to adjust the tension on my machine. It's always been a mystery. Plus I was able to use every fancy thread imaginable and have signed up for an applique class in July. New horizons to look forward to while I practice FMQ! Some of the ladies are really getting good. My shop has a retreat center so all if you are invited to join me. Here's the link to their website.
