I have learned how much money we used to spend on eating out! And that I don't miss it because I like my own cooking best.
I learned how to quilt with rulers. I learned to create zippered bags from the 18 x 21 inch pieces that I practice my new quilting skills. (it's been a while since installing a zipper. had to find my zipper foot!)
I have had trouble focusing on starting a new quilt project or finishing the baby quilts that I had started. So, I added more rows to the baby quilt to make it full sized, and I'm gonna apply my new quilting skills, not just SID for me anymore!
