Rob I fall for the free shipping too many times and that's why its there.
WMU Teach congrats on your retirement! Not long now.
I've surprised myself in my productivity lately. Usually I'm a slow sewist (or it feels like it compared to what others get done). I will try pictures later though must admit I never have figured it out since the change. After a half dozen attempts, I gave up in frustration.
I'm currently working on an easy cathedral window. A youtube video By Jenny Doan. It's fun and going rather quickly and uses a lot of background fabric. Also working on a jewel box.
I did buy a piece of fabric but feel very good about the purchase. I have looked for just the right color of brown for quite awhile now. Couldn't believe how hard that seemed to be. Well I finally found it! It will go in my stash but I'm pretty sure it won't stay there long. I had put it in the cart several days ago and finally did it this morning. Nothing else jumping in the cart or thinking I needed a bolt ( I really don't). Lots of thinking about the purchase and still thinking I need it. Happy I finally found the right color!
