Jan, sending good thoughts for you to be better soon. No hurry on my quilt top. Brat will be getting hers sometime in Decemebr so if I don't get mine until after Christmas, that is ok...or even in Jan. I am in no hurry. Would rather you not be in pain if I had my druthers. Brat, post some pics of having good times with your son. I am making good use of time with no machine and doing things that I don't need one for. Getting together some leader-ender piles to run thru machine when it is back and looking through stash for fabrics for the cat quilt.
