Dwina, really great needle case. Not to hot about high 70's. but got humid as the day went on. have air on now,b/c I've been having breathing problems for the past few weeks. My son stopped by, always great to see him. I'm making his birthday quilt. he'll be 25 in February. He's been into martial arts since he was 3. not the normal stuff, noooo, things like wing chang and weird stuff. so it's all Asian symbols and kanji for things I think are important. He just walked back in and luckily, all the stuff is away right now. went to the LQS about 30 miles away to get fabs. spent $45 and just got a little bit of what i need. off to look around, I'm ready for sign up. are you???
