I took a picture of my friend while she was sewing at my machine. She sews about once every 5 years!!LOL, but what struck me the most was all the material in the background. If I didn't know better I would have thought I was in a store. Since that time I have been trying VERY, VERY hard not to just pick up fabric. I made several lap quilts for Senior's and only used material on hand for most(had to make some purchases for backing). Still I have as much, but working on using it up.
