Hi, I'm new to the message board thing. But have enjoyed reading everyones postings. I've done some small quilt projects and love to hand sew. I tend to collect fabric and patterns and then wish for time. It's hard to put sewing into an otherwise full life. I work full time off the farm and help care for aging parents. I also do my email from work, dail-up just isn't fast enough from home. I'm off to a busy weekend. We're still waiting for the last of the sheep to lamb. I look forward to chating. Ellen
