Oh so much info, after my month at Gulf Shores! Took my machine and materials for quilt I have been working on forever, forgot my 24" ruler and tried ripping (not too good for what I wanted). In the end I sewed 1 day, thought it was too hard and aggrivating, so put it all away. Now we are home and after getting everything put away will go back to my "fun". Of course it was a little too windy to sew outside but I would love to do that, looking at the Gulf. Sounds like perfection to me!!!
