It's been interesting reading the posts to this thread. I'm feeling a bit in the dumps. I've just finished a beautiful quilt top that I'm itchin to finish but I had to put the wadding on lay away since money was tight. So, I decided if I can't quilt tonight I'll see if I can read about quilting and pick up some tips and... here I am! Part of the down feeling is that it's a long weekend in South Australia and no real quilting to be done.
