Just want to say I love reading this thread and joining in the momentum to get things underway...to the "finish" line. I know it is not a race, but thinking of you all yesterday while working in my sewing room helped me sandwich the runner and placemats I owe my DD from this Christmas. Don't like that step, but essential for quilting, which I do like. Also, was able to mark off on the calendar another day in the sewing room. Did you see that thread in the Main section? A member keeps track on a calendar the days she gets to sew. It's fun to see progress. Here's to a good sewing day!
