I feel like I am among the living again. My hip is doing well and have built up my endurance to allow me to sew and get out when I can catch a ride with someone. Love my new machine and will be going to an applicae class tomorrow. Printing the blocks out but well start over on making them. Have dropped out of the reason I was using a specific color so now want to make them acording to my likes and dislikes. Love all the pictures.
