*nods* I plan on trying to hit some yard sales this summer for sure. And I have lots and lots of needles of various sizes because I do hand embroidery as well. I want to try and get at least two quilts done and finished before christmas. 1 for my daughter ( I found the CUTEST sloth applique, and my sweet daughter is gaga for slots) and one for the daughter I had when I was a surrogate mom 16 years ago, who has recently shown interest in connecting with me. (The couple I worked with has stayed in contact with me and kept me updated on her, and last year had the sit down talk with her to tell her about me and give her the choice to connect if she wished it) Even if its just cuddle/lap quilts, I want to give them both something that they can have and pass down to their children someday, ya know?
