Poor Jan, I have been a member of that club before, and it is no fun. Now I have no problem reminding myself to keep my foot away from the pedal whenever my fingers are threading the machine. Heal fast, my dear. Brat's quilt is looking mighty fine! Now I need to start brainstorming for my turn before it gets here. Sandy - the "x" border is awesome! No rush at all, take your time. But I must confess that I mailed Tlambing's to you this morning! And yes, I have taken pictures of it (as well as the famous chicken coop), but DH now tells me that my computer is not letting me download from my camera for some reason. And here I have been blaming myself for being computer-challenged to the hilt. But I hope you will like it , Teresa. I have never appliqued before, decided now was the time to learn. Thank goodness for libraries, QB and my grandma's sewing genes. Hey, it we all finish early can we do it again??
