Jan...I didn't know quilters made what they need, rather the pattern and fabric that they needed to play with which became a quilt.
Time to think about miniatures. They take almost as much time as a big quilt and are oh so cute when they are done. They won't put a dent in the stash though.
OK...so glad the wedding day went well and that you can relax a little. I'm glad you're on high ground since I'm hearing of a lot of rain and flooding in your state.
QuiltE...no I got the 8200 which doesn't have quite as many bells and whistles as the 8900 but I really like it.
