Hello and Welcome Catherine!
I know you are going to enjoy this site. Everyone here is so helpful and encouraging. They are great! I read that you had a sewing business for 12 years, did you make clothing, or quilts and other projects or did you do the sewing for other people? I would love to have my own sewing business at some point in my life. Do you have any pictures of the things you have made to share with us? I get so excited when someone posts pictures of their creations, I act like a little kid at Christmas...haha I love seeing everyone's work, it also gives inspiration for new projects. :)
