Wow! D'sM...Aren't you glad you checked out the Husky store! But even more, I imagine you are so glad you have such a wonderful 'guy' in your life. We will all be waiting to hear how you like your new machine. Plus all the wonderful things you will sew on it. I am so happy for you. It's nice to have a great guy in your life. My DH told me the other day that I should be sure and look for more fabric, when our guild goes to another town's quilt shop for the quilt I am making for granddaughter. I am glad he is a keeper, too. Nancia, have a safe and wonderful trip. Emma, I love your postings. Back to the moratorium...even though I have fallen off the wagon a couple times, this thread has really helped me be more practical about buying fabric so thanks to all of you.
