Deer me, QNS. I hope it gets picked up soon! Jan, how you must enjoy your clean sewing room. When I finish the valances, that is on my to do. I don't have much space or fabric so it doesn't take much until things need to be tidied up. This week my LQS is celebrating it's 7th year in business with a customer appreciation lunch. I had a quilt to trim up for binding and I had decided to do Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt so I had play day today. I saw many quilting friends, some from as far away as Michigan, did get the quilt trimmed, and was able to find a pretty good selection for the mystery quilt. Now to finish the valances and forget about piecing for a week or so and get some quilting done. Maybe I'll come to like quilting as much as I do piecing if I just do it enough.
